Growing up in Brisbane, on the sun-drenched Gold Coast, it’s hard to imagine how Angharad Drake was inspired to make the music she does. The talented 23-year-old has shared her new single, “Baby”, the first to be lifted from her upcoming album, which will be released early in the new year.
Like fellow Australian’s Julia Jacklin and Gabriella Cohen, Angharad’s music seems to exist in a surprising world of Americana; indeed Angharad even takes it further into the Southern States, bringing to mind the gothic-Americana of acts like Weyes Blood or Marissa Nadler. Baby is a brooding blend of twanging slide, rolling percussion, and an effortlessly beautiful vocal performance, Angharad carrying all the heartache of, “a hopeless case” as she repeatedly pleads, “baby don’t go.” Angharad’s upcoming record will be her debut full-length recording, following on from a number of self-released EP’s.
Angharad Drake will release her new album late in Spring. Click HERE to keep up to date with Angharad’s music.
