Darkest Night by Jhana Allan
This album was written on Wurundjeri country and recorded in 2017 on Dja Dja Wurrung country. I acknowledge all elders past present and emerging.
Jhana Allan's debut album, Darkest Night takes the listener on a journey through darkness and light, loss and regeneration. Running throughout it is a yearning for the stark, arid, northern NSW countryside where she grew up. Country and old-time styles, eastern european rhythms, pop melodies and hints of jazz all find a place here and are held together by Allan's clear-voiced and emotive storytelling.
