About

Written and recorded over a 200-day period during which Sultana wrestled with touring burnout, the emergence of a global pandemic and bushfires raging through Australia, ‘Terra Firma’ finds the artist longing for some sort of stability. It’s where the title, Latin for “solid ground,” comes from. “I need this more than I should,” they sing on the soothing ‘Dream My Life Away’. The sound of someone finding a fleeting moment of peace, it provides a welcome escape from the constant noise of 2021.

A record driven by purpose after long months of uncertainty and introspection, ‘Terra Firma’ acts not only as a beacon of comfort, but provides moments of bliss, escapism and reconnection at a time where things are drearier and more isolating than ever. - NME
