Tash Sultana released the inspired video for the latest single ‘Free Mind’ this morning. Shot by Dara Munnis whilst on the road with Tash, the montage reflects the adventurous life performing across the globe.

On ‘Free Mind’ Tash reveals: “‘Free Mind’ was a song written over a couple of years. It was pretty much three different songs that I couldn’t figure out how to put together until one day when I was in the studio it kind of just fell into place. I don’t usually write songs that are 3 minutes 30 seconds because I find that super challenging, but I feel like I have said what I needed to say. ‘When will my mind be free from all the chains that hold me down?’”
.
All of the songs on FLOW STATE are produced, written, performed and arranged by Tash, who plays every one of the 15 instruments and sounds that feature throughout, including saxophone, pan flute, grand piano and guitar to name a few. The album was engineered by Nikita Miltiadou, mixed by Dann Hume and mastered by Andrei Eremin.
On the record Tash confesses: “It’s been in the making for years to come now and is my first statement to what I see as the very beginning of my career. I didn’t just write individual songs for this, I decided to write a full length album – one piece of music that fits together one after the other. Few stories to tell, had a few tears to cry but I got there and it’s about to come your way”.
During release week, triple j starred FLOW STATE as their feature album. Tash sat down with Richard Kingsmill on 2018 to talk about the making of FLOW STATE where Tash revealed the personal stories behind the music on the record.
