The manifestation of nearly a decade of artistic work, the album Inland is a layered exploration of self, an analysis of infatuation and obsession, and a celebration of the empowerment of letting go featuring singles ‘Dazzling’, ‘Savage Heart’ and ‘Hit Me’.
She invited an array of musician friends to contribute to Inland. Long-time collaborator Lindsay Gravina mixed and mastered the album over an extended two-year period that included lockdown delays. Ex-Paradise Motel bassist Matt Bailey, who appeared on All Day Venus, returns for two tracks, while the legendary Mick Harvey makes a special appearance. Lewis Boyes plays lead guitar on ‘Abandoned Houses’. Cellists Caerwen Martin and Biddy Connor add an airy layer, along with violinist Louise Woodward. There’s even a dash of banjo in there for keen ears. Further strings are provided by rising stars Ivy and Mabel Windred-Wornes (Charm of Finches), who also share backing vocals with the accomplished Laura Jean Englert. Drum duty is split between powerhouse Dan McKay (The Nation Blue) and Marty Brown, who also plays a bundle of other instruments including synth, alongside his contribution as producer on ‘Equations’ and ‘Dazzling’, and co-producer on ‘Missed You’.
Inland sits solidly as the next step in Adalita’s impressive body of work. Building on the guitar-driven pulse of her first two solo albums, you can hear echoes of her previous sound alongside bold new experiments in tempo and tone. Where she goes next is guaranteed to be exhilarating.
As well as plans for various other creative projects, Adalita says the album’s final track, ‘Abandoned Houses’ offers a hint of what’s to come musically. “This song feels like the start of a new direction. What that maybe I am yet to find out myself, but perhaps something a little different.”
