Tom Lark releases ‘Fuselage’
Tom Lark (Shannon Fowler) has released Fuselage, the third single from his sophomore album Moonlight Hotel. The groove-driven track follows Rock & Roll Baby and Dumb Luck.
“Fuselage is about feeling resistant to change,” says Fowler. “When trying to do something different it can be much easier to avoid the uncomfortable and return to the familiar thing – kinda like apathy over action, which ultimately leads to frustration at a lack of progression.”
The single is accompanied by a video directed by Sam Kristofski, that sees an undercover Tom Lark traverse the streets of Auckland City, getting to the bottom of something.
Moonlight Hotel sees Tom Lark explore the parallels between Fowler’s family’s historical displacement following the 1929 earthquake that destroyed Murchison – a pioneer town in the upper West Coast of the South Island – and his own following the 2011 earthquakes that levelled much of Ōtautahi.
Steeped in the Tom Lark persona’s whimsical yet pragmatic sensibility, Moonlight Hotel is an evolution of what Brave Star introduced: sun-soaked odes to taking things as they come, and rolling with the punches.
The album has been announced alongside dates for the first live Tom Lark shows in Aotearoa since May 2024.
