Born in Hobart, Tasmania and now making her home in Uralla, northern NSW, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jhana Allan has had a long road to finding her voice as a musician. On her newest sophomore studio release, “Fake Paradise”, she explores a cyclical emotional addiction that has plagued her throughout her entire adult life.
Drawing on inspiration from musicians such as The Weather Station, Sam Amidon, PJ Harvey, and Lucy Thorne, the album moves through folk, jazz, and rock soundscapes, retaining a throughline of Allan’s visceral and emotive writing and singing, and grounded by her layered vocal presence.
