Jen Cloher today releases her self-titled album through Milk! Records and Remote Control. Four albums into her career, she’s delivered her best album yet and has critics world-wide reaching deep into their grab-bags for superlatives.

By now you would have heard the fearless self-analysis of ‘Forgot Myself’ and the melancholy sweep of ‘Regional Echo’ – showcasing Cloher’s masterful way with a double-edged lyric and serrated guitar chord.

An album which plays it fearlessly close to the bone, with raw, unflinching dissections of her life, love, and Australia, Jen Cloher is the culmination of a period of artistic and personal growth in which the artist took her rightful place as a punk-rock figurehead of Australia’s famous DIY music scene.

Released through Cloher and wife Courtney Barnett’s own label Milk! Records, Jen Cloher represents another quantum leap forward for the artist. Recorded amidst the rolling greenery of Gippsland, Victoria and mixed at Jeff Tweedy’s famous Loft Studios in Chicago, the songs are split by Courtney Barnett’s extraordinary lead guitar and anchored by the rhythm section of Bones Sloane and Jen Sholakis. The end result is bold, assured, and piercingly observed, seeing Cloher face up to painful truths with unwavering honesty and emerge triumphant. On tracks like ‘Analysis Paralysis’ and ‘Shoegazers’ Cloher dissects the complacency of privilege, while on the stirring anthem-to-be ‘Strong Woman’ she looks to her Maori heritage of women warriors, proud that her Mother “wanted respect more than love.”

This is Cloher at her most incisive and witty, cutting and expressive. An imperial showcase of song-writing craft which is likely to sit on the top of many end-of-year lists.

Cloher and her band will tour behind the album in September, taking in Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth and Melbourne (first show at Howler is sold out, second show announced!) before heading to Europe and the USA for an extensive run of dates.

AMNPLIFY – DB

Dave Bruce

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.

Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.

Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.

Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
