“Was my light shining too bright, is that why you said that you can’t shine around me?”, the Australian asks sensitively in “Mana Takatapui”, which increases to a small hymn after a cautious start. Cloher is enlightened after coming out queer and rediscovering her Maori heritage.

Cloher is probably enlightened

The good thing about their first album since 2017 is that their music never disappears behind Agenda and Message. She contrasts the campfire folk of “He Toka-TuMoana” effortlessly with stop-and-go pop (“My Witch”) or the explosive “Being Human” and turns the discipline protest song into a foil for very personal discipline, carried by vibraphone and horns. Not only Courtney Barnett and Kurt Vile, who have already worked with Cloher, like this.
