This year I really existed quite a lot!
I graduated from my bachelor degree, started and finished honours. I spent 2 months nocturnal. I made many new friends human and non-human. I lived in 5 places. I found somewhere to live where Gumboot and I are happy. I played on the forum stage with my bestie @aphir_ . I got a dream job as a full-time ecologist. Things were frequently challenging and I cried regularly. I found a decent therapist. I relied on friends a whole tonne and I’m forever grateful. Looking forward to thriving even more next year ✨
Posting on main again for the first time in a long time. Just to say I started my honours earlier this year and just recently came back from 2 months in the field tracking platypus! Being nocturnal most of that time was not easy and I almost or actually went crazy more than once but I’m grateful to friends for helping me stay the course. Also very grateful to my volunteers who came out for creek work and to my field friends - particularly my day friend the echidna neighbour, my night friends the bandicoots, wombat, wallabies, powerful owl and others 💗
Hello it turns out that my allergy to social media got so bad (while I was on tour lol) that I stopped posting for most of the second half of the year. I wanted to mention that after the UK I went to Canada and hiked and slept in the car for 3 weeks and it was maybe one of the happiest times in living memory? here’s some snaps.
To those who I don’t talk to regularly but are interested, I’m pretty much done with music, at least for now. I’m all done with the Lack the low project definitely. It’s been a brutal 8 years of burnout and I’m grateful to people who connected with my work over the years. It made it worth it for sure. I’ll still sit at the piano and sing songs at home and maybe I’ll share some of that if I feel like it! But that’s about all.
Anyway, sending love to everyone for this new year, I hope it treats you well! X 🫎🌲🐿️
@arctangentfestival you were flipping amazing! 10 years after attending the first arctangent it was such an honour and joy to play. So much fun!! It’s been so inspiring to see old friends and watch some incredible bands. ATG is truly one of a kind. 3 more uk shows to go 🖤🖤🖤
I was debating about whether to post this but this was me 3 weeks ago after getting a lump on my thyroid biopsied. I found out this week that although I have multinodular goiter, I do not in fact have the big C, which is amazing news! It has been some tough times lately, but I’m so happy to now be able to just focus on gigs and travel. Feeling very relieved grateful!! If you’re in Melbourne it would be amazing to see you at my show this Friday, I think it will be my only Aus show this year! 🙏💗
Hello hi I am very excited for this gig!! An avant/dream pop extravaganza! But very seriously @imogencygler and @denimowl are amazing and it will be great. Tix in bio!
I will be joining the amazing @happy_axe and @aphir_ for their show tonight at LongPlay!! Adding some layers to their beautiful improvisations. See you there! 💜💜💜
Today marks 5 years since One Eye Closed came out!!! 🎉🎉🎉 It doesn’t make for the most engaging content visually but I wanted to share with you my favourite bit of the album without my voice and synths in it. I learned so much making this record and a lot of it was painstaking but arranging this part came so quickly and easily, it felt very meant-to-be. And hearing it played by amazing musicians was something I’ll treasure forever. Thanks to @brunosiketa on trumpet, Evgeny Chebykin on horn and @catherineakeely on double bass
Yesssss my remix of @aphir_ 's song Pomegranate Tree is out now! Among a whole EP of wonderful remixes by artists I really admire. I think this was my first proper remix I've ever done(!?) and it was honestly such a true joy. I love Becki's work so much and getting into the guts of this song was really inspiring. I don't have a lot of time to make music lately but I'm so glad I took the time to make this - I'm really proud of it. You can listen on her bandcamp - link is in the bio!
Thanks so much for making God-Carrier the 5th most voted for album for 2022 on the @wettest100 ! Such an honour.
If you’d like to see some of these songs live make sure you come to the @underthealmonds pool party show this Saturday 😘💕
