Sarah Blasko’s seventh album I Just Need To Conquer This Mountain (Nov 1) is full of late night reflections on goodbyes, grief and new beginnings. She is as expansive as she is prolific, writing songs that strike with rare immediacy, clarity and purpose. Melodies beguilingly simple, lyrics ever honest and direct. Blasko has reached rarefied status in Australia, from the now-classic debut The Overture & The Underscore (2004) through to the stunning Depth Of Field (2018); her six-album run of genre-defining indie-rock and art-pop is unparalleled. Over the course of her albums she has received countless award nominations and has secured 3 ARIA awards and triple j’s Album Of The Year for ‘As Day Follows Night’.
Sarah was the subject of the ABC commissioned documentary BLASKO – which aired late in 2017 to critical acclaim, and has written music for film, television, theatre and ballet. She has performed with Symphony Orchestras, string quartets, electronic duos, and makes up one third of the beloved ‘Seeker Lover Keeper’ collaboration alongside Sally Seltmann and Holly Throsby.
“This is a new peak for Sarah Blasko. We’re calling it here and now – it’s one of the albums of the year. The mountain has been conquered.” – STACK
“Blasko remains untouchable… An exquisite explosion of melodies offset by the dark vulnerability of her vocal delivery, Blasko’s seventh album offers solace to the dispirited” – Beat Magazine
