BATTS - 62 Moons

Review by Steve Christian

BATTS' 62 Moons is a hauntingly beautiful album that showcases the Melbourne-based singer-songwriter's talent for crafting dreamy, atmospheric soundscapes. From the opening track "Gun" to the closing number "The End of the World", BATTS takes the listener on a journey through a world of ethereal melodies, haunting vocals, and introspective lyrics.

The album's standout tracks include "Shame", with its pulsing electronic beats and emotive vocals, and "Little White Lies", which features a hauntingly beautiful string arrangement. Other highlights include "Kiki", a nostalgic ode to childhood memories, and "Mars", a dreamy ballad that evokes feelings of longing and nostalgia.

Throughout the album, BATTS' voice is a powerful instrument that conveys a range of emotions, from vulnerability and sadness to hope and resilience. Her lyrics are equally impressive, exploring themes of love, loss, and self-discovery with honesty and depth.

Notes

Batts is the moniker for Melbourne based singer-songwriter Tanya Batt, and this is her mesmerising and melancholic debut EP 62 Moons. Named after the 62 Moons of Saturn, the obsession with space is an underlying theme throughout the record, from the Nasa recording of Saturn’s rings which opens the recording, to the EP title. Batts explains “I had the thought of combining the music we create as humans, with the natural music of things out in space that have existed for billions and billions of years. I want to instil knowledge of space within music to people, but not via lyrics - via sounds.”

BATTS has been touring Australia the past few years building up a resume of local and international supports with Sharon Van Etten, Lucius, The Teskey Brothers, The Magic Numbers, Nilüfer Yanya, Leif Vollebekk, and many more.
