Castlemaine’s own multi-award-winning songwriter, musician, advocate and writer, Eliza Hull (OAM), has recently released her latest song Balcony, from her forthcoming album You’d Think We’d Be Used To Change By Now.
Written and partially recorded in London with Sneaker Pimps’ Liam Howe (fka twigs, MARINA), Balcony flits between bittersweet nostalgia and sky-high euphoria, sonically drawing from atmospheric 90s trip-hop; “a song about trying to hold onto something beautiful long after it has passed”.
To celebrate the launch of her new album on December 4, Hull will host an intimate conversation and perform the full album live at the Diggers Store, where she recorded most of the album.
You’d Think We’d Be Used To Change By Now is stunningly raw, contemplative, brooding and expertly layered with organic and electronic textural elements. At its core, it’s a record about change via a culmination of honest conversations Hull has had with herself, sharing stories that have manifested from periods of self-doubt and identity shifts – and ultimately arriving at a place of replenished empowerment and trust in her own place as “a woman, mother, partner and artist”.
This album heralds a bold and emotionally expansive new era from one of the continent’s most compelling artists, and is out independently on Friday December 4.
