Singer songwriter Gretta Ziller has today released her second album Judas Tree, featuring singles ‘Unlikely Believer’ and ‘Stockholm’, the ethereal opener, ‘5,4,3,2,1’ and undeniably catchy, ‘Damage Done’. She has also released a captivating acoustic video for ‘Stockholm’, featuring her band – Matt Gibson on drums, Zac Watson on bass, and Damian Cafarella on guitar, mando, dobro, mixing and mastering!

The album finds Ziller ranging far and wide over the sonic landscape, pushing her uniquely expressive voice, kaleidoscopic sound, and deft songwriting skills to dizzying new heights.
Gretta says, “I am absolutely thrilled to be releasing my second album ‘Judas Tree’. It’s been a long and weird 18 months but I’m so glad to finally be putting out the music and I can’t wait to get back to playing music live and sharing these songs with everyone!”
Gretta Ziller’s critically-lauded debut album Queen of Boomtown (2017) was long-listed for the Australian Music Prize and was nominated for The Age Music Victoria Awards. Ziller has been an APRA Professional Development finalist, garnered two Golden Guitar nominations, and has performed at Australian Music Week.
An exhilarating departure from the softer Americana poise of Queen of Boomtown, Judas Tree deploys richly layered guitar-driven sounds, building on Ziller’s roots in blues, rock, jazz, and pop.
The result is an album that draws from many wellsprings: desert rock, psych, power pop, and more, capturing the sounds of inspirations from Rag’n’Bone Man to Bishop Briggs. The result is an 11-track songbook that frequently defies categorisation.
Judas Tree was produced by the in-demand Paul Ruske, with engineering by Richard Stolz (Tones & I, Tash Sultana, Paul Kelly, Husky) and Richard Dodd (Tom Petty, George Harrison, Roy Orbison). Also featured is Americana peer Jen Mize on backing vocals and cello.
Ziller recently took part in Global Music Match an initiative which connects writers/performers from all over the world, allowing them to cross promote to each other’s audiences, given they can’t tour globally. Watch the GMM version of ‘5,4,3,2,1’ HERE. She has also been shortlisted in the Music Victoria Awards 2021 – for more please see HERE.
