GRACE CUMMINGS

<p><em>Grace Cummings releases her most ambitious and unsettling work on Aug 14 &mdash;&nbsp;</em><em>Bloodhorse!</em><em>&nbsp; The fourth album from the Melbourne-born singer-songwriter is a bold leap into new territory. Recorded in Topanga Canyon with GRAMMY-nominated producer Jonathan Wilson (Father John Misty, Angel Olsen, Margo Price), the record finds Cummings pushing her extraordinary voice &mdash; that deep, feral, stop-you-in-your-tracks alto &mdash; into music that shudders with synths, tense strings, and woozy grooves alongside the heartwrenching intimacy she built her reputation on.</em><br><br><em>Where&nbsp;</em><em>Ramona</em><em>&nbsp;opened up her world,&nbsp;</em><em>Bloodhorse!</em><em>&nbsp;plunges into the dark of it. Themes of life, death, agency, and self-examination pulse through an album that is by turns lush and violent, confessional and defiant. It&#39;s music that feels as much as it sounds.</em><br><br><em>Following a run of European dates supporting Father John Misty and a sold-out London headline show at The George Tavern, Cummings returns to Australia for three pre-release shows with her full band, before returning to the US for a national tour with Tyler Ballgame, and an autumn tour across Europe and the UK. Hear Bloodhorse! in its cinemascope wildness, before she gallops away.&nbsp;</em></p>
