Hana Stretton + Phipps Pt

Hana Stretton is a British/Australian composer, singer and producer known for her remarkably warm production style and uniquely spacious songform. In 2023, her debut album, Soon, earned a beloved status among discerning listeners around the globe. This stunning work caught the ear of one Phil Elverum, who lovingly reissued Soon through his own label in 2024, furthering the album’s reach and deepening its reputation. In the press, Elverum said: “I hear an artist who has entered completely into the stream where creation originates \[…\] Hana Stretton has truly recorded the deep flourishing sound of a quiet listening mind in full blossom.” A fitting testament to a young artist rooted in the stillness of nature. From the dusty Australian bushland on Soon, Stretton transports the listener to the Pacific Ocean on her new album, tiarn (set to be released summer 2026). Shifting gradually like a shoreline, her new compositions reveal welcomed hints of classical and electronic flourishes. Phipps Pt. is the duo project of songwriter and artist Lovage Sharrock and electronic musician Jon Leidecker (Wobbly, Negativland). Falling somewhere between precise songcraft and free improvisation, acid folk and ambient electronics, the music they create is an ongoing conversation between two singular artists and longtime friends listening and responding to one another with care and curiosity.
