<\/div>\n

When Sarah Mary Chadwick<\/a> sings, her voice sounds brittle, as though it\u2019s crumbling as it leaves her throat. The only thing that props her up on \u201cConfetti,\u201d a new song from her upcoming LP The Queen Who Stole the Sky<\/em>, is the rounded, warm, comforting tones of the ancient grand organ she\u2019s playing, a relic located in Melbourne Town Hall. That combo \u2014 Chadwick\u2019s breakdown coupled with an instrument of hope \u2014makes you want to keep listening to hear if it all falls apart or if she\u2019ll make it through to the end.<\/p>\n

She sings about feeling empty and how \u201cno one tries quite like I try,\u201d but whenever she sings a line like, \u201cI don\u2019t desire\/I\u2019m not alive,\u201d she follows it up with a reprieve on the organ. In a way, the song inhales and exhales just like the bellows that power some organs. In different ways, the mix of light and shade recalls the personal nature of PJ Harvey\u2019s music, the naked id of Daniel Johnston and the loneliness of Television Personalities. But it\u2019s wholly unique to Chadwick \u2014 a New Zealand\u2013born singer who was a member of the Melbourne-based downer-rock group Batrider before reinventing herself as an avant-folk solo artist \u2014 and her temperament. She keeps up this balancing act throughout the whole album, which she performed and recorded live on the organ late last year. (You can see her play the album\u2019s title song in another video<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\u201cLoosen up\/Hey, it\u2019s all right,\u201d she sings at one point in \u201cConfetti.\u201d But it\u2019s within mere moments of her declaring, \u201cThere\u2019s a reason I\u2019m no fun.\u201d You want to tell her that it will be all right, but the song ends before you get the chance.<\/p>\n
