After capturing hearts with singles released through triple J’s Unearthed High, Mulumbinba/Newcastle artist Grace Aberhart continues her rise with the release of “Letterbox.” This song reminds me so much of the angry girl rock I listened to in the ‘90s, with its vulnerable lyrics and grungy instrumentation. Music this good never goes out of style.
“‘Letterbox’ is a decision and a realisation that letting go and moving on is what you need and knowing that you’ll be fine,” Grace explained. “It’s about going through the motions of heartbreak and how those feelings will fluctuate from day to day, wrestling with yourself to be stronger than you feel.”
I grew up in Mulumbinba/Newcastle, so the music video shot in Grace’s hometown is also giving me nostalgic vibes. I can’t wait to hear more from Grace when she releases her debut EP later this year.
