With a career spanning seven studio albums, Liz Stringer holds a unique place among the most important Australian songwriters of the modern era.
BottomDescribed by Backseat Mafia as “…one of Australia’s most quietly devastating songwriters”, Liz Stringer has built a cult-like following in her home country over a seven-album career. An Australian Independent Record Association Award-winner, Port Fairy Folk Festival’s 2023 Artist of the Year and Woodford Folk Festival’s 2020 ‘Emerging Legend of Australian Song’, Stringer spent the summer of 2023 working with Grammy nominated/Ivor Novello Award winning producer/engineer Beni Giles (Lianne La Havas) at Iguana Studios in Brixton, to complete her most accomplished offering yet.
The Second High sees Stringer branch into a wider range of her musical influences, using jazz, soul and funk as a canvas on which to squarely centre songs which draw on themes of self-actualisation, social inequity and the dogged pursuit of truth and authenticity. Stringer now calls north London home.
“Intelligent and assured – ★★★★ ” The Guardian
“…electrifying… irresistible funk grooves” – undertheradar.com
“… an undeniable showcase of her ability to craft deeply personal yet socially resonant songs” – Backseat Mafia
