Fremantle-based indie-rock favourite, Noah Dillon, announces Australian tour celebrating the release of the new EP 'Soft', out Friday August 30, via Dew Process and Universal Music. The Soft Tour will see Noah and band touring to Adelaide, Brisbane, Hobart, Sydney, Melbourne, and Fremantle.

Latest single 'He's A Lad' is the third single to drop from the upcoming EP, 'Soft', premiered on triple j drive with Tyrone and Abby. The energetic and lyrically vulnerable track is produced by Andy Lawson (The Buoys, Death By Denim, Tired Lion). It is written about toxic masculinity that stems from a place of insecurity.

Noah Dillon shares... "I wrote it after a night at the pub where this guy wouldn’t shut his mouth about himself, a desperate alpha male. I got home and felt both disgust and empathy for him. There’s no excuse for being a tosser but I could see his fragile inner child putting on a man suit. What are you hiding from? Being soft? Being sad? So scared to not be the centre of it that he never listens and in turn is the epitome of what he doesn’t want to be… a boring, lonely person. It was written in reference to this one person but is really a glance at my thoughts of the toxic parts of all masculinity. You only end up fighting yourself when you try fit into a box."

The EP 'Soft' – Noah Dillon's third, following 2019's 'Everything Melts' and his 2021 breakthrough 'Don'tChange for the World (Like It's Changing Me)' –  is a straightforward and succinct title, especially in contrast to the woven metaphor of his two previous titles. The beauty lies in the simplicity, which, in turn, reveals a deeper and darker complexity. Noah shares,“there's strength in softness... the strongest thing you could ever do is be as vulnerable and as soft as you can. It's not hard to be mean. It's not hard to be jealous... It's hard to be peaceful, calm and compassionate. It's hard to be soft."
