Away With It

Whales in Webs was written after having listened to a podcast about a whale being rescued from entanglement in crab nets. In what seemed like an act of gratitude, the whale swam up to each rescuer individually and stared them in the eyes. 

“I think humans wrongfully believe themselves to be superior to mammals such as whales, when in hindsight I believe many animals have much more control over us then we do them. The song talks about the idea that we’re all living in cities on top of whales’ backs and all they have to do is swim faster or deeper and we’ll all fall off. Never to be seen again.” Carry Nation on Whales in Webs.

This is just a snippet of something I was working on, trying to make use of the massive Wurlitzer covered in rubbish in my house.

Eyes On Me



There's all kinds of places you could start. Start with Brisbane, folk songs, a critically revered debut under the Carry Nation name. Start with several years as a Melbourne resident, honing a craft and performing alongside Darren Hanlon, Georgia Fair, Laura Jean, Glenn Richards, Washington, McKisko, Laura Imbruglia and Whitley. You could even start with an all-too-brief tenure as a member of Golden Arrow alongside collaborators such as Lisa Mitchell, Lanie Lane and Clare Bowditch.

Jessie Warren has been enchanting audiences for over six years with her dulcet tones and stunningly honest lyricism, The Brisbane-born singer/songwriter has been generating a substantial buzz for her haunting live shows, commanding tunes and unique ability to transfix her audience with equal offerings of strength and fragility. 

Warren's most recent musical endeavour - HALFSHARK, is an all at once triumphant culmination of her work to date and an attempt to evolve beyond it, this is an auteur come into her own at last, finally finding a way to convey ideas long-held and delicately tended to.
