Smokey's Haunt is the fourth studio album by Australian hip hop artist and member of The Herd, Urthboy. It was released on 12 October 2012.[1][2]

Overview

Levinson's fourth album under the Urthboy moniker, released on the Elefant Traks label, was made available to the public on 12 October 2012.[1] Produced by fellow Australian hip hop colleagues, Count Bounce (TZU) and Hermitude, the album was selected as a "Feature Album" on national Australian radio station, Triple J.[1]

Jimblah, Solo and Alex Burnett (of Sparkadia) feature as guests on the album.[3] Jimblah and Solo appear on a song entitled "On Your Shoulders" (Jimblah also appears on the song, "Glimpses"), and Burnett features on the song, "The Big Sleep".[2][4]

Smokey's Haunt achieved a #14 debut position on the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Album Chart.[5]

Tour

In late February 2013, a national Australian tour, in support of the fourth Urthboy album, was confirmed and a live band, featuring drums and keyboard(s)/piano(s), was also announced.[5] Herd member Jane Tyrell was also named as a member of the touring group, while the support acts were identified as fellow Elefant Traks artist Jimblah and One Sixth from Melbourne, Australia.[6] In 2013 Urthboy was announced as the national support for Paul Kelly's 'Spring & Fall' Tour—the selection follows multiple previous collaborations, including Urthboy's 2008 cover of "From Little Things Big Things Grow", and a combined cover of Hunters and Collectors' "Tears Of Joy" in early 2013.[7]
