Tell us about your new single Second Hand Boots?
Secondhand Boots is a tale of love gone wrong, as indeed many Audreys songs are. I have a long history of love going wrong for me, which yes is kind of depressing, but it also means I never run out of material to write about.
What’s your favourite work at this point in time? (your group’s work)
This song for sure, actually no – the whole album it comes from which people will be able to hear from February next year. I think it’s my best work to date.
How would you describe your sound in food form and why?
Salted Caramel Chocolate, because it looks sweet but once you bite into it it’s bitter and salty as well.
Tell us a quick, on the road or studio, anecdote.
We recorded most of this album in February and March of this year, and it was HOT in Adelaide. You couldn’t run the air conditioner in the studio because it made too much noise, so we had to keep cool in other ways. This is how the sound of ice clinking in a glass made it onto more than one track on the album. Listen out!
What, or who, inspires you?
Creative people who aren’t afraid to put a lot of themselves into their work. It makes their art meaningful and relatable. Oh and my kids, because they’re so funny and so brutally honest. Mummy’s songs are all boring and about rain, apparently.
Which song do you wish you wrote?
Yesterday, because I’d be really really rich.
What’s next for you?
We’re putting an album out early next year then going on tour around Australia. Can’t wait!
What’s your scene?
Watching live music with friends and a glass of wine.
