Will You

First time I've ever written a song after watching a review by Bajo on Good Game...

Dark Souls

Recorded in a loungeroom by the band, with help from Melbourne Bitter.

Psychic 5 is my new band with old m88s Paddy, Kat and Phil. 

If you have any ideas what the hell this genre is, let me know. I was just trying to play slowcore...

Second Class Citizen

Spare and bold, simple and evocative, melancholic and hopeful – with the release of an ambitious debut EP, Great Aunt begin to define for themselves a unique path in folk and Americana.

‘A Mess That I Left’ combines elements of contemporary folk and Americana with the traditions of old time, bluegrass, and gospel music. The instrumentation and arrangements are bare and bold: various combinations of mandolin, guitar and upright bass explore well-worn themes of grief, love, acceptance, hope, resilience and faith. Striking too, are the evocative voices of Megan Bird and Chelsea Allen.

The duo engineered and produced their record alone, in their home studio in Melbourne’s inner north. Each song is realised with deliberate sparseness, and aims to capture and replicate their acoustic performance. Listen and you'll hear breaths, sighs, chirping birds, imperfections, moments of hope and joy, fear and happiness. ‘A Mess That I Left’ is a living, breathing thing: a palpable moment in musical time.

The message is clear: beginning and ending the 6-track EP is a hymn pleading for inclusivity and hope. The first iteration of ‘Oh, Cruel World’ is an introductory refrain of gospel-like harmonies; re-imagined in the last moments of the final song of the EP with a more sombre and intimate tone:

“Oh, cruel world
Oh, my girl
Treat her right
Oh, cruel world”

‘Oh, Cruel World’ tells the story of Bird’s family and others like them; her struggle coming out as a queer woman, and the lived experiences of her transgender brother. It talks too of their family’s struggles coming to terms with both, and of their concern for their children’s safety and place in the world. The song is sombre but hopeful: a celebration of the diversity in family and friends.

Head Up

Great Aunt is an Americana/folk duo from Melbourne, Australia, rambling a musical line between the plaintive and the joyous. Their music is raw and austere, simple and bold; full of stomping feet and clapping hands, chants and harmonies, whispered words, and soulful lament. Set somewhere between a gospel church in Louisiana and a dimly-lit speakeasy in Melbourne, listeners will hear tales of joy and grief, whiskey and wine, gratitude and purpose-seeking.

Formed in 2016, the duo is a collaboration between songwriter/instrumentalists Megan Bird (mandolin, guitar, vocals) and Chelsea Allen (double bass, vocals, percussion), and draws attitude and inspiration from their diverse musical backgrounds in punk, blues, jazz, and roots music.
