NASHVILLE, TN – Creating a nostalgic escape by way of skillful songwriting and baroque imagery, David Austin 'cuts' away from adulthood and responsibilities in his new single, "Cut Hunting" – available everywhere now. Retrospective in nature, "Cut Hunting" reminisces on his hometown in Northern California, finding the perfect high school hideaways from parental controls.
“This song is about searching for secluded locations, ‘cuts,’ away from the watchful eye of parents or authority,” reveals David. “These are the places in high school where you could just be yourself and do whatever you wanted. Growing up in Marin County, CA, we went ‘cut hunting’ in the most incredible places – mountains, valleys, Redwood forests, beaches, and of course, the local homes and neighborhoods.”
Inspired by the early works of Bruce Springsteen, David Austin expertly crafts an ode to adolescence – intertwining fiction and non-fiction in poetic lyricism. The genre-bending maverick weaves this euphoric, relatable story into an indie acoustic-based track that extends beyond the singer-songwriter realm, incorporating hints of jazz guitar and roots-rock.
