Newton Faulkner, the acoustic guitar virtuoso returns with his eagerly anticipated second album ‘Rebuilt By Humans’. In this album Faulkner’s beautiful voice ranges from bluesy croon to falsetto howl and it hasn’t sounded better. First track and single ‘This Is It’ was one of the earliest songs he wrote for the album – a elated hymn to the joys of giggling.

The album title makes reference to Newton’s near career-ending accident on Boxing Day last year when he slipped on ice and fractured and dislocated his right wrist. His injury forced the postponement of his UK tour and some recovery time which gladly has not affected his genius.

The album pushes the frequencies with a multitude of instrumentation and amazing song writing. Newton says “I had brilliant fun making this album, and hopefully it sounds that way”.

Released 21^st September 2009.
