Turning Heads episode 27 features an interview with Melbourne-based songwriter Sarah Mary Chadwick.

Get in touch: [email protected]'s new album, Me and Ennui Are Friends, Baby, is out now via Rice Is Nice. It's Sarah's seventh album and the final instalment in a trilogy that began with 2019’s The Queen Who Stole the Sky and 2020’s Please Daddy.Please Daddy was recorded with a full band and The Queen Who Stole the Sky was written specifically for performance on the Melbourne Town Hall Grand Organ. Me and Ennui is a more traditional SMC album in that it features Sarah playing solo behind a piano. There’s greater intensity to the performances as a result, which helps to spotlight some of Sarah's best songwriting to date.Across the trilogy, Sarah has reflected on and sought to process the deaths of her father and a close friend, the breakdown of a relationship and an attempt she made on her own life.In the podcast, we speak about Sarah's preferred method for creating albums, the satisfaction writing and recording music brings her, and her life changing experiences with psychoanalytic therapy. Turning heads is recorded on the stolen land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation; the traditional custodians of the land. I pay my respects to their elders past and present, and acknowledge that sovereignty has never been ceded.
