Civil Dusk is the third solo album by multi ARIA and APRA Award winning singer-songwriter Bernard Fanning. Recorded at Byron Bay studio La Cueva, the album was produced, engineered and mixed by Nick DiDia who has worked with artists including Powderfinger, Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam, Rage Against the Machine, Aimee Mann and Matthew Sweet. With recording wrapping up over Easter 2016, the songs are characterised by a sense of warmth, space and the earthy treatment of timber based instruments ¬ acoustic guitar, piano, strings and violin.

With his solo career now spanning a 10-year period, Fanning has firmly cemented his position as one of Australia¹s finest songwriters and lyricists. From the country folk-tinged charm of his multi-platinum debut solo album Tea and Sympathy (#1 ARIA Debut) to the synth beats and horn breaks of its follow up Departures (#1 ARIA Debut), Fanning is a songwriter in continuous motion, his trusty notebook never far from his side.

Civil Dusk is part one of a series of two albums. The second installment Brutal Dawn will follow in early 2017.
