Largely unknown but highly talented Lucie Thorne was raised in Tassie, lived in Melbourne for a time and now calls the tiny hamlet of Bimbaya in the Bega Valley (NSW) home. This new album, recorded at her home studio, will hopefully see her find the larger audience she deserves.

This is one of the finest female vocal albums released by an Australian in the last few years. Her beautiful breathy vocals occasionally stretch out on the rockier songs. The whole album – from her band, to production, to the songs – is first-rate. You won’t find it on the radio, but you should make the effort to seek this fine album out.
