New Zealand-born, Melbourne-based singer-songwriter Sarah Mary Chadwick has announced her seventh full-length album called Me And Ennui Are Friends Baby which will be out February 5th, 2021 via Ba Da Bing. “Every Loser Needs A Mother” is the first excerpt which comes with the official video directed by Geoffrey O’Connor.

According to the press release, the new album is comprised entirely of minimal solo piano arrangements; Ennui is despondently clear-eyed and smirkingly self-deprecating, completing a trilogy of records that started with The Queen Who Stole The Sky  and her only outing to date featuring a full band, Please Daddy.

Each record has followed Chadwick’s internal processing after a traumatic event, with Chadwick’s zeal for psychoanalysis front and center. On Ennui, Chadwick presents an exacting intensity with her choice to pare back to piano and vocals. It’s in this stark setting that she focuses on the attempt she made on her life in 2019.
