Stu Larsen is an Australian folk-pop singer-songwriter from Queensland who has spent roughly two decades living out of a suitcase, touring six continents and turning that restlessness into song. He broke through in 2014 with his Nettwerk debut Vagabond - produced by Passenger's Mike Rosenberg - and has since built a devoted international following through intimate acoustic shows and a string of albums that trace his travels almost like a diary. His fourth album, Solitude (2026), was written one song per month across twelve countries, each track recorded alone in a deliberately isolated location.
Stu Larsen released his fourth studio album Solitude on 19 June 2026 via Nettwerk Music Group, comprising twelve songs each written in a different country during 2024.
A review of Solitude noted that Larsen spent 2024 writing one song per month across twelve countries, completely alone, in locations chosen specifically for their isolation.
Nettwerk Music Group announced the pre-release single 'Shelter' ahead of the Solitude album drop in June 2026.
Larsen's 'The Solitude Tour EU & UK 2026' includes dates in Warsaw, Oslo, Bergen, Zürich, Groningen, Bristol, Nottingham, Manchester and Glasgow, among others.
A review described Solitude as Larsen's most deliberate work yet, noting he had accumulated hundreds of millions of streams on earlier tracks like 'Thirteen Sad Farewells' and 'San Francisco'.
