Necessary Evil, out in May 2021, was the first full-length record from Tyne-James Organ, a singer-songwriter from Wollongong, New South Wales, who had built his early following posting cover versions on YouTube. It capped a slow, stubborn climb: a debut single in 2016, a deal with Dew Process in 2017 and a first EP, Persevere, in 2019.
The road to the album ran through "Hold Me Back", a single from May 2020 that traded the stripped-back ache of his 2017 ballad "Watch You Go" for rough, hard-hitting rock. He drew it from the Me Too movement and from the misogyny he'd witnessed firsthand in Melbourne's nightclubs, and it set the tone for a songwriter ready to raise his voice. "Sunday Suit" is the album cut that found its way onto rock radio.
