After releasing her sophomore EP, Tell Me Mother in June, Rachael Comte and her band will be celebrating this release with the help of some special guests, and support from the astounding Aisla Mitchell. Emerging into a spotlight that has warmed to the likes of Angie McMahon, Merpire and Hannah Cameron more recently, Comte’s musicianship has matured in this same league, and the material that has resulted provides a perfect snapshot of this progress.

“Tell Me Mother” with its sparkling charm and unabashed boldness, is a stride forward for Comte and the perfect introduction of her music to newcomers. The EP, in showcasing Comte’s strength as a writer and vocalist, is a culmination of years of experience the musician has accumulated; a seasoned writer and performer in Melbourne’s indie and jazz scenes, Comte’s arrival at this point is one that has been not just long-anticipated, but it is an arrival of an artist ready to shine in a new spotlight.
