With such depth, it’s an album that both reveals and rewards.

Overall, if you thought it not possible for the psychedelic-alt rocker to produce a record more chilled out than the releases that have preceded it then you will be pleasantly surprised with this hypnotic catalogue of sound on Terra Firma.

Their sound hasn’t evolved but simply bettered itself, and as per usual, finds its way around an extensive (and slightly absurd) range of instruments.

The Aussie star embraces all sounds but maintains a delicate vulnerability on album number two.

The name of Tash Sultana’s sophomore album might be inspired simply by their garden and acts as an ode to their newfound fondness of a quieter life, but it is an album that sees Sultana at their most grounded musically.

If this album could stand a bit of editing to make it more concise, it leaves no doubt they have the talent and vision to be an artist who is going to be around for a while, and it's fascinating to imagine where they can go next. Terra Firma shows where they are now is already pretty impressive.

This is a pretty listen that lacks big moments.

Over the past few years, Tash Sultana has been building up a lot oh hype and a dedicated following that’s captivated by their intimate singing, songwriting, and guitar playing. On their sophomore album, “Terra Firma”, Tash manages to continue that intimacy while expanding their sound much further than their debut.

Country: Australia
Genre: Neo Soul
For fans of: Milky Chance, Bootleg Rascal, Joy Crookes
Singer and multi-instrumentalist Tash Sultana has never written a song where it feels like they are trying too hard. Everything that they create feels flowing, natural and organic, it's an incredibly pleasant listening experience. This new project Terra Firma stands out because of how thematically consistent it is from start to finish.

This album is full of some absolutely beautiful instrumental phrasing. Like, these organic guitar licks snap and echo with such vitality its engrossing. Its echoing, its cavernous, its lovely psychedelic dream pop with a jazzy flair. But then Tash starts singing, and their voice is grating and annoying. The lyrics are pointless and they sound like someone with a cold doing an Amy Winehouse impersonation. This should have been an instrumental record and I'd tick it up a full letter grade.
