About
Content Source: OztixThree years after releasing her career defining album DEAR JOHN, and only seven months after the follow up, Cyclone, Sam Buckingham returns with her most raw and revealing work yet.
Quiet Revolution explores Buckinghams process of reassessing her life and drastically shifting priorities.
I turned 40 and started counting up the time Id spent trying to be someone that Im not, and create success by other peoples measures Buckingham reflects. All of a sudden I understood what that had cost me, and I knew that I didnt want to spend the next 40 years of my life doing the same thing.
The EPs hook-heavy title track invites a life with more space to breathe, while the pensive Paracetamol drives the point home when Buckingham sings more importantly I let go of the need to please people who wouldnt even grieve if I were dead.
Nuclear Power rejects the rat race and embraces radical boundary setting, while The Universe boldly claims rebellion as an antidote to depression which, really, is the entire point of the EP.
Buckingham describes a quiet revolution as a powerful, internal process that completely shifts the course of your life. Youre challenging your internal beliefs and patterns every day, and doing the unglamorous work to build a better life for yourself - on your own terms. I see it as an important act of self love and selflessness - the ripple effect of one person truly empowering herself is huge.
Buckinghams unique sensibility for marrying poetry with pop shines in this stunning collection, drawing influences from Laura Marling, Ani DiFranco and Joni Mitchell.
Recorded during a late night studio session with ARIA winning engineer & producer Paul Pilsneniks, the four track EP is as stripped back as you can get - each song was recorded in one take, with nothing but Buckingham on acoustic guitar and vocals.
The Quiet Revolution tour embraces this raw approach, with Buckingham performing songs from the new EP and playing favourites from her acclaimed releases DEAR JOHN and Cyclone in sit-down acoustic mode.
Buckingham has played main stages at Woodford and Queenscliff Music Festivals, toured with the Festival of Small Halls, and packed out a combined 40 dates while touring DEAR JOHN and Cyclone.
Shes also toured alongside Kate Miller-Heidke, Paul Kelly, Katie Noonan, Tim Freedman, The Whitlams, Kasey Chambers, Washington and Ben Lee.
Buckingham will start sharing tracks from Quiet Revolution in November 2024, with the entire EP set for release March 2025 - coinciding with the start of her national tour.
Book early - these shows are very limited capacity and will sell out fast.
