'Into the wind’ is the first single from Mark Lang’s forthcoming solo album ‘Wild Swan’. An album that documents the poetic language of his son, and revels in the long journey of trying to understand yourself, difference, place and family.

Written and recorded over a 3 year period between his small Australian Coastal village and Nashville USA. Mark worked with long-time collaborators and producers Nick Huggins (The Dirty Three, Jen Cloher) & Brad Jones(Ron Sexsmith, Missy Higgins). The three friends uncovered a new sonic landscape for Lang’s songwriting to inhabit, delivering a masterful piece of work.

At the time of writing Mark was walking a lot. Out along the sea wall towards an old wooden pier, trying to recover the simplicity of a time before the technology took over. Memories of watching ‘Storm Boy’ as a kid, on the days when it was too wet to go outside, pointed towards another way of existing. He carried undercurrents of his mid life with him towards the heads of Port Phillip Bay.

Once in the studio, improvised musical experiments held unexamined truths, and a world started to form. A flock of songbirds, filling the sky, carried many of the questions we all ask ourselves. How do we show up for the people around us? How do I use the time I have? What on earth am I doing?

When asked if the songbirds of the song are him, Mark suggests that the songbirds are the ability to let things go, a way of releasing things. ‘Song making is a healing process, a way to carry your worries and let them fly towards the horizon.’

As the song reaches its peak, Mark makes a cry into the wind, both pleading and expelling. There is a duality in his performance, his voice is both the songbird and the burden it carries.

"I think because the conscious mind wasn't involved in this, in both the performance and the writing, it's why this album probably feels the most honest of anything I've ever made".
