‘BIG SADS’ EP by St. South
From Australia comes the absolutely amazing indie singer/songwriter Olivia Gavranich AKA St. South and she arrived with the tales of the ‘BIG SADS’ EP. With this refreshingly intoxicating body of work she embraces the sweet magic of pop and adds heartfelt and honest lyrics to give life to something quite special. It’s an EP that has all the right ingredients to get music lovers hooked as we dive into these stories and find bits and pieces of ourselves in them.
There’s something about the ‘BIG SADS’ EP that just understands how to connect the dots and grab a hold of our hearts and souls as the songs come alive from the moment we press play. It’s a fantastic EP that embraces the fragile nature of the human condition in a way that is quite warm and easy to feel ours. Plus, it manages to also feel quite vivid and lush as each song grabs a hold of ours senses and gives our imagination a wonderful task to take care of.
As of late I found it hard to really take on selecting favorites to share, and the ‘BIG SADS’ EP will follow that trend. With this special body of work, we get the chance to enjoy 5 songs, 5 stories, 5 honest showcases of emotions that are bound to bring some healing to more than a few listeners. So come with me, and just give yourself a chance to listen to each track and find the ones that speak the loudest to you and to your heart. Enjoy the unique dose of magic that calls this amazing EP home.
“When my dad died the world was still in lockdown, and I had this hopeful thought that I would spend the next year at my piano, processing the grief in a productive way. When in reality, grief turned into depression, leaving me feeling stuck and incapable of even basic self-care. The thought of writing about grief felt far too overwhelming when I was living and breathing it every day, and sitting at my piano started to give me so much anxiety.
That’s why this EP is so special to me; because of how impossible it felt to start, let alone finish. When I hear it now, mixed and mastered, I can’t believe that it’s done. I can’t believe that I did that, amidst the biggest sads of my life.”
