Praise for ALI BARTER
“Barter’s latest is a buzzy, anthemic guitar-pop cut that sees her
celebrate joyful recklessness and rash decision” – NME on ‘Twisted Up’
“Even when a lyric is “harrowing”… It comes with a wink instead of a tear, and that’s where the now vigilant musician is, even as her international profile grows more prominent.” – Sydney Morning Herald
“Channelling an easy, candid 2000s pop-rock vibe, the album is an endearing yet frank collection that aims for genuine relatability while still managing to not take itself too seriously” – Clash Magazine
“Ali Barter spins insecurities into gold on second album, Hello I’m Doing My Best” – triple j

Today, unconventional pop star Ali Barter releases her new EP Chocolate Cake. Following on from singles ‘Twisted Up’ and ‘You Get In My Way’, the 4-track EP is out now on Inertia Music. Alongside its release is a lyric video for the title track, made with the same creative team for her previous singles; We Made That.
The Chocolate Cake EP was written across both hemispheres. Barter engaged in writing sessions in Los Angeles and Nashville before the crushing reality of COVID-19 jeopardized her first US tour and forced her back home to isolate in Melbourne. The EP was rounded out remotely with the help of creative minds Harlan Silverman, Lost Boy, K-Flay, who co-wrote the EP title track, Brandon James and lockdown buddy/ husband Oscar Dawson.
“Most of the songs on this EP are about looking for answers in the wrong places, and about trying to find something that takes me out of my head. Searching for a chocolate cake in a hardware store is a parable for my life,” says Ali on the project.
Previous Chocolate Cake single ‘Twisted Up’ was added to triple j and received support from Tone Deaf, NME, Purple Sneakers, Music Feeds, as well as ‘You Get In My Way’ gaining love from FBi Radio and Carte Blanche.

In 2019 Barter’s confessional Hello, I’m Doing My Best struck a nerve with fans worldwide, garnering support at home from the likes of triple j (Feature Album), Pitchfork, Line of Best Fit, Consequence of Sound, Nylon, Clash Magazine.
Pre-COVID Barter went global; completing her debut overseas tour, including dates around Europe, performing at Reeperbahn 2019 and whistle-stop shows in Los Angeles and Mexico City. She then returned home to Australia for the Hello, I’m Doing my Best tour which saw her sell-out shows in Melbourne and Sydney. Last November/ December saw the perfect ending to 2020 with Ali Barter touring throughout regional New South Wales & Victoria, much to the delight of fans who sold out eight shows.

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.
