about

The contemplative and stretched out twin to last year's A Body of Full Of Tears, Sia Ahmad continues to revisit her most formative inspirations on Facade, blurring aged textures into contemporary expressions on this newest addition to the Shoeb Ahmad oeuvre.

Less claustrophobic than ABFOT and clearer in sonic detail, Facade picks up threads of familial reality, gendered safety and mapping place to weave into a tapestry of disembodied found sound, lush harmonies and widescreen metronomic presence. Once forgotten and now again inhabited, the songs here continues a journey to reclaim what drove Ahmad to create and explore.

All profits from sales go towards ongoing contributions made to Aboriginal Legal Service NSW/ACT and Pay The Rent.
