ANNIE HAMILTON - Stop & Smell The Lightning (Limited & Numbered Lime Green & Black Marble Coloured Vinyl)

Presented in a one-off lime green vinyl with black marbling, with an individually numbered obi strip, special UV spot printing and limited to 200 copies only.

Stop and Smell the Lightning offers a compelling exploration of emotional and sonic contrasts, seamlessly weaving a dynamic array of influences, styles, and sentiments. Shifting effortlessly between vibrant IDGAF exuberance and introspective delicacy, it skillfully blends energetic dance anthems with lush, ethereal dreamscapes and tender moments of vulnerability. Cinematic slow-burns and psychedelic whirlwinds punctuate the record, underscoring a nuanced process of self-reclamation and empowerment. It's produced by Methyl Ethyl and it sounds incredible. She's truly one of a kind and forging her own path.

If you've not met Annie - as an Eora/Sydney-based multi-disciplinary artist and fashion designer, she possesses a singular ability to capture the beating heart of an emotion and refract it through her own vivid musical prism, harnessing visceral, shimmering textures and wild, kinetic energy.

Driven by an unquenchable desire for risk-taking, her constantly-shifting sound enters a new era in 2024, melting down the building blocks of indie-rock and alt-pop that provided the foundation of her self-titled EP (2020) and introspective debut record, the future is here but it feels kinda like the past (2022), and fusing them with unexpected electronic and ethereal elements to create a signature sound that exists beyond the boundaries of genre and expectation.

Annie Hamilton's music has found strong support with triple j, CLASH, FADER, NPR, RUSSH, NME and more, including community radio nationally. Her "addictive" (Rolling Stone) live presence has recently seen her play headline shows internationally across London, Paris, Berlin and beyond, including showcasing at New York's Night School (2022) and SXSW Austin (2023), Reeperbahn Festival (2023) and complete tours with the likes of The National, Julia Jacklin, Luke Hemmings, Lime Cordiale, Jack River and Mallrat.

Annie is touring Australia through November.
