The dialogue of the past year has completely exhausted the words “unprecedented” and “trying times,” and music has equally reflected the spectrum of emotions that have transpired globally. Tash Sultana’s Tierra Firma, her sophomore album, is an ode to stability. Tierra Firma translates from Latin to “solid ground.”

The instrumental opener “Musk” sets a dream-like vibe of psychedelic bliss, with a building beat that feels uplifting and hopeful. The instrumentals of the whole album are extremely complicated, beautiful, and interesting; the first track sets the tone for an album that welcomes it all.

The ever cool Australian musician is famous for being able to play 18 instruments, therefore it's no surprise I'm falling in love with the score more than the lyrics (vocals still slap though).

Follow this listening guide if you’re excited about new Tash, but can’t spend an hour listening to every single song: 

 
 

My guaranteed replays are: 

  • Musk

  • Pretty Lady

  • Blame It On Society

  • Sweet & Dandy

  • Willow Tree

  • Vanilla Honey

The tracks that fall somewhere in the middle:

  • Greed 

  • Beyond the Pine

  • I Am Free

The ones you probably won’t play again: 

  • Coma

  • Dream My Life Away

  • Let the Light In 

  • Crop Circles


Score: 7.7/10
