KATANKIN ALBUM LAUNCH - "SAID THE STARLING"

“Said the starling” is the much-anticipated debut album from Melbourne’s Katankin, a singer-songwriter who has slowly but surely been making her presence known in the indie music scene.

Following the release of her self-produced, solo debut EP “The quiet shimmer of the world” in late-2022, the artist enjoyed a string of appearances at major Victorian music festivals, and a Music Victoria nomination for Best Folk Work in 2023. Work on a full album began early this year, with Katankin again arranging and producing all the tracks herself, but this time accompanied by a full band, including occasional strings and horns.
The result is a powerful, eclectic and extremely well-crafted offering, marked by Katankin’s signature poeticism, razor-sharp lyrics and uniquely expressive vocal delivery. The songs by turns uplift and shatter; tenderly caress and then slam you down, showcasing the artist’s impressive range as both songwriter and singer.

“Said the starling” is out on vinyl, CD, and all digital platforms on Monday October 28th, with Katankin launching the album at this rare performance with full band, in the gorgeous Wesley Anne bandroom.

 Support by special guest Tom Barton.
