About this concert
Emily Barker has announced her new album, Fragile as Humans, produced at storied English studio The Wool Hall by Luke Potashnick (Gabrielle Aplin, Jack Savoretti, Alberta Cross). It's her first album for nearly four years, following A Dark Murmuration of Words, which Uncut called “…a kind of Australian equivalent of PJ Harvey’s Let England Shake”. Written and recorded as her time living in the UK was coming to a close, Fragile as Humans sees Barker turn her lyrical gaze inwards. The expansive themes of A Dark Murmuration of Words are replaced by an empathetic concern for matters more personal, familial, closer to home. The album's ten songs take us on a deep dive into the human condition, an unflinching self-examination of grief, pain, loneliness and loss, at the same time sparkling with hope, optimism and connection. Emily Barker will be discussing her new album with Sound Lounge patron, esteemed writer and journalist Paul Sexton as well as performing songs from Fragile as Humans. Copies of the album will be available on the night. Doors, 7pm. Show, 7.30pm
