Singles from The Best of Josh Pyke
  1. "Into the Wind"
    Released: May 2017[3]

The album arrives 10 years after the release of his debut studio album, Memories & Dust, and features singles, personal picks and rare tracks along with two brand new songs. Pyke said "When I look back, I can see similar threads across my albums. There's a really strong theme about the passing of time, and how past experiences manifest themselves at different points in your life."[4]

The album was supported with an Australian tour across July and August 2017.[3] The album artwork is by illustrator James Hancock, the artist responsible for many of Pyke's early album art. Pyke said "As soon as I decided to do the Best Of, it felt natural to get James to do the art. We went to high school together, and have witnessed each other forge successful careers in the arts, so it was lovely to take that full circle for this album."[4]

gollark: Really? Weird. The kit probably wouldn't be, but if the silicon exists it might be nonawful.
gollark: Sure, but you are unlikely to bulk-manufacture them as it's very niche. Might as well just buy an FPGA and stick it in your keyboard.
gollark: The microcontrollers in keyboards doing USB are probably more powerful than "6502"s.
