Babitha - Brighter Side Of Blue

SPUNK RECORDS - URA6002

Talking intent, for the 11-song album, Babitha and the band entered a 24-track studio for the first time wanting a new experience, and a chance to get together during the peaks of lockdown. Newly opened Stranded Studios in Bellambi offered a joyous respite from the monotony of life in lockdown. It was also the first album ever recorded at the studio. Behind the mixing desk was Bowen Shakallis and Cody Munro Moore and inside the studio were Babitha regulars Alexi Grivas on guitar, Cecil Coleman (Body Type) on drums and Russell Fitzgibbon (Skeleten) on bass.

"Only Fair" was the first track the band laid down, feeling confident after playing the song in every live set. It's also the perfect song to showcase from the album with its homage to Babitha's past and future.

Speaking of the past, since late 2019, Babitha has gone onto sign a record deal with Spunk, sold out multiple headline shows, landed playlist rotation on ABC Country, Double J, FBi Radio, 2SER plus college radio across America and received a 'Next Big Thing' nomination in the 2021 FBi SMAC Awards.
