I Am The River, The River Is Me (Green Vinyl) - By:Cloher, Jen - Model Number: MILK070LP

Description

Jen Cloher (Ng?puhi & Ng?ti Kahu) is a songwriter and performer living on unceded Wurundjeri land in Naarm (Melbourne). Cloher™s taut, terse brand of rock is charged with the static tension that comes with being an eternal misfit. Over the course of five albums, Cloher has won a J Award and an AIR Award and been nominated for an ARIA and the Australian Music Prize.

I Am The River, The River Is Me, Cloher™s fifth album, is verdant and rich; it luxuriates in stillness, and carries itself with cool, unfussy confidence. Inspired by Cloher™s powerful matrilineal line of w?hine M?ori, I Am The River, The River Is Me was recorded between Aotearoa (NZ) and Naarm (Melbourne) with producers Tom Healy (Tiny Ruins, Marlon Williams), Anika Ostendorf (Hachiku) and Cloher™s longtime drummer Jen Sholakis; the album brings in trailblazing artists including Emma Donovan (Gumbaynggirr, Yamatji), Kylie Auldist, Liz Stringer, Te Kaahu (Waikato-Tainui, Ng?ti T?p?), Ruby Solly (Kai Tahu, Waitaha, K?ti M?moe) and members of the Naarm-based Kapa Haka, Te Hononga o ng? Iwi. The entire record feels communal ” a celebration not just of Cloher, but of the rich, life-filled communities that surround them.
