FLOW STATE (RECORD STORE DAY INDIES WW - WHITE)

Melbourne multi-instrumentalist Tash Sultana says a flow state is what happens when you're so connected with what you're doing that you actually become your art. On Sultana's debut album-written, produced, arranged and played all 15 instruments on-Sultana's art is a lavish, organic melange of soul ("Cigarettes"), R&B ("Murder to the Mind"), reggae ("Mellow Marmalade"), folk ("Pink Moon") and hip-hop, a sound recreated live using loop pedals. For years, Sultana's skills were honed busking on the streets of Melbourne, building a career with the determination heard in "Salvation", a song about creating your own narrative: "I don't need you for my own validation."
