Minor Gold — ARIA-nominated songwriters Tracy McNeil (CAN) & Dan Parsons (AUS) - embark on their North American album tour for their sophomore album Way to the Sun: a lush, harmony-drenched blend of cosmic country and folk. Produced by Dan Horne (Mapache, Cass McCombs), Way to the Sun was hailed by UNCUT as “an alluring telepathy… rarely heard since Emmylou & Gram,” crowned Best New Music, and held in the top 50 Americana Radio charts for 9 weeks. Recorded over seven sun-soaked days at Ultimate Hair Farm in Glendale, California, the album slowly emerged like a hazy mirage from a cosmic, suburban dream. Poolside barbecues, late-night percussion jams, and moonlit swims shaped a record that felt more discovered than made. Written across Australian highways and finished in Middle America, it’s a bold evolution - seeking light in the shadows, and letting go just enough to watch the sun rise.
After three years of international touring and festival appearances across North America, the UK, and Europe, Minor Gold are back - bringing their irresistible live show and new songs to North American audiences in 2026.
★★★★ Shindig (UK) ★★★★ Rhythms Magazine ★★★★★ Folk/Tumble "a joyous listen from beginning to end.” ★★★★ RNR (UK) "Trippy folk wonderment...a delightful pairing." UNCUT Top Albums for July - Double J "Retro California sounds brought bang up to date." - Americana UK “There’s an alluring telepathy to the way the voices curl around each other, rarely heard in country music since Emmylou Harris rode shotgun with Gram Parsons, aligned to eloquent lyrics.” – UNCUT (UK) “Blissful, harmony-rich Americana associated with Laurel Canyon’s early-70s pomp, washed with psychedelic pedal steel” – PROG Magazine (UK) “a confident, cohesive, and compelling chapter in the ongoing journey of a duo who clearly know where they are headed…a quietly radiant gem.” –Rhythms Magazine (AUS) "Simon & Garfunkel in pearl-button shirts, or Seals and Crofts in spurs" - Bernard Zuel
