Sydney garage rocker Angie is one of the unpolished gems of Sydney music. Gritty and rough on the outside, her music has an innate beauty filled with stories of loneliness and self-reflection. Her latest offering Free Agent is an ode to freedom and self-discovery, a scrapbook of time spent overseas, tattered and torn into a lethal garage rock package.
She is also a brilliant visual artist, so it only makes sense to ask her to create a visual track by track of the record, accompanied by the most appropriate lyrics from each song. Put on Free Agent and take a moment to soak it all in. You’ll be better off for it.
Angie takes self-reflection to the next level with a series of watercolours to delve into the intricacies of Free Agent. Don’t touch the paintings please.
