Angie McMahon Tickets

Angie McMahon’s latest LP Light, Dark, Light Again is a record about going to the darkest places inside yourself, facing the fear and finding it can be a portal to something bigger and better. It examines McMahon’s relationship with self and the journey to becoming okay with whoever she is and whatever the future holds. It captures coming undone then healing slowly and strangely; the roots that grow around fractures and failures, creating new foundations and letting the light in.

While McMahon’s acclaimed 2019 debut album was stripped-back and soft, for Light, Dark, Light Again she wanted to see how big she could take her sound. Serving as the album’s co-producer, McMahon steered its sonics from start to finish.

A deeply considered work, Light, Dark, Light Again was recorded slowly and purposefully across another year between McMahon’s home city of Melbourne, regional Victoria and the North Carolina town of Durham. In the latter – where the majority of the album’s tracks came together – McMahon worked alongside esteemed Grammy-nominated producer and songwriter Brad Cook, who has previously produced for the likes of Bon Iver, Waxahatchee, Kevin Morby and Snail Mail. 

Completing the studio band was Bon Iver drummer Matt McCaughan, Canadian singer-songwriter Leif Vollebekk and Megafaun musician Phil Cook, and the chance to travel abroad and collaborate with artists whose work she so admires felt like a dream come true for McMahon.
