We’re opening our 10th anniversary year with something special. Gia Margaret is touring Australia for the first time, and she’s bringing her new album Singing and her much-loved back catalogue to Anglesea Memorial Hall.
Every artist has to discover their voice. Gia Margaret only found hers after she lost it. A vocal injury kept her from singing for years, and in that silence she built other musical languages. She mastered an intricate, homey kind of ambient music, a form pioneered by Ernest Hood and perfected by The Books.
Now her voice has healed and her artistic voice has sharpened. Singing is her first vocal album since 2018’s There’s Always Glimmer. Soft piano lines fall like breath on glass, and the same jeweller’s eye for detail she developed in her silence runs through every track.
The album is a warm requiem for her past selves, and each layer sings her future self into being. It applies what speechlessness taught her about the ways we communicate without quite communicating, and how formless sound can cut to the heart of things like a scalpel.
