Episode 42: Olivia Chaney: 'Circus Of Desire'

On this episode, Lauren is joined by the wonderful Olivia Chaney. Born in Florence to a writer and painter-turned-academic, Olivia grew up listening to everything from Prince to Henry Purcell. 

In 2015, she released her first solo album 'The Longest River', receiving rave reviews. Three years later, she recorded her second album 'Shelter' in NYC with genius producer-pianist Thomas Bartlett.

These records established Olivia’s reputation as the author of an unmistakable brand of luscious, sophisticated music that explores inherited trauma, the clash of tradition and modernity, and the paradoxes of love.

'Circus of Desire', released in March this year, is the highly anticipated third studio album from Olivia. Worked up over five eventful years, this collection of songs was recorded in NYC with long-time collaborator, producer and musician Thomas Bartlett. Featuring an all-star line-up of friends old and new, 'Circus of Desire' is Olivia set free.

This podcast is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation. I pay my respects to the traditional custodians of this country and elders past, present.
