Adalita

Bookings are no longer available
If you know anything at all about Australian music, of course, you already know who Adalita is. You know her from Magic Dirt, who for nearly two decades have been one of Australia’s most respected and influential bands. You may well have grown up with her music, watching it evolve from the freeform distortion-drenched darkness of the early ‘90s to the confident, poised rock’n’roll of Girl. Or you might be a new fan, just beginning to explore the work of one of Australia’s greatest contemporary bands.
But either way, you’ve never heard her sound quite like this. Adalita is her first solo record, a collection of ten songs that captures her at her most raw and unaffected. It showcases the breadth of her songwriting talents, from the quiet introspection of songs like Perfection and The Repairer through the more rocking Jewel Thief and Goin Down to the cryptically-titled and evocative instrumental Lassa Hanta. The music isn’t so much a radical departure from Magic Dirt as it is a distillation of everything that band represents, with the layers of instrumentation stripped away, leaving only the bare bones of the songs themselves.
Several other musicians feature on Adalita – Magic Dirt’s Raúl Sanchez plays guitar on Lassa Hanta, while Melbourne singer/songwriter Amaya Laucirica provides backing vocals on Good Girl.
This is a solo record in the most literal sense of the word: the rendering of one person’s artistic vision, even through to the artwork that adorns the package.
