Suzannah Espie has been casting spells over audiences across the globe since she first took to the stage with her alt-country pop band GIT in 1997. On her latest, critically acclaimed, self-produced album Mother’s Not Feeling Herself Today, she continues to mine the soulful and personal side of folk and country music. That she does so with such honesty and directness whilst still blending subtlety and beautiful melodies reinforces her standing as one of Australia’s finest singer/songwriters. Espie has tackled the subject of motherhood on her new album and it’s a sumptuous and ornate affair that isn’t afraid to venture into the dark, fear-wracked corners of the maternal experience. The results have been staggering, igniting candid conversations about a largely untouched subject wherever she goes. The country soul sound of her music perfectly channels the emotion in her songs with great weight and sensitivity from traditional country to fragile folk. The album was nominated for The Age Victorian Music Awards Best Folk/Roots Album 2015 and made just about every Australian best of list for 2015, including Rhythms Magazine, Triple R fm Off The Record, the Courier Mail and Radio National just to name a few.
