Angie McMahon<\/a> has been slowing down, searching for equilibrium. The Naarm\/Melbourne songwriter’s debut album, Salt<\/em>, came out in mid-2019. It was one of the year’s breakout releases and a moment of self-actualisation for McMahon, who’d dedicated years of effort towards the goal of turning songwriting and performing into a stimulating career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But then life came along. Covid, loss, change, depression, Fred again..<\/a> \u2013 McMahon has seen and felt a lot in the four-plus years since Salt <\/em>came out. She attempts to parse a good portion of these experiences on album two, Light, Dark, Light Again<\/em>, which is out now. But more significantly, McMahon has been able to cultivate a sense of self-possession and inner harmony away from her work as a popular musician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The album is better for it, and so is McMahon’s mental health. In the lead-up to the release of Light, Dark, Light Again<\/em> \u2013 which includes tracks with such illustrative titles as ‘Making It Through’, ‘Exploding’ and ‘Letting Go’ \u2013 Music Feeds <\/em>spoke to McMahon about time, turmoil, and making it through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
