This New Light

This New Light is an indie-folk music project based on the Sunshine Coast, Australia. Samuel Ayling, the creative mind behind the songs, has developed a signature silky sound that has drawn listeners in over the past 5 years, with tracks like 'The Mountains' and 'End of the Line' accumulating over 4 million streams each on Spotify. His songs have even appeared in feature-length films ('Outback', Michael Green) and major corporate videos (Snap Chat).

This New Light has landed some significant festival slots over the years, performing alongside Hollow Coves, The Dreggs, The Temper Trap and Thirsty Merc at Roadtrip Festival and Caloundra Music Festival respectively. Most recently, Ayling took the project on the road, completing his third headline tour, travelling through three states, playing ten shows and performing to over 700 audience members.

'nothing makes sense..' is This New Light's latest musical offering (July 5, 2024), which highlighted Ayling's own production style and featured 'give it some time'. Ayling continues to work on monthly releases in 2024 and hopes to have another EP out before the end of the year.

In other news, Sam has landed numerous support slots with The Dreggs this year, touring Australia in June and heading to New Zealand in August. This will lead into his fourth major headline tour in August, hitting Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, and taking a band on the road for the first time too!
