Grace Woodroofe Shares Guitar Rocker 'Circling the Drain'

Fresh from the release of her long-awaited sophomore album Rotate on the Ache (Part 1), Grace Woodroofe returns with the bombastic new rocker 'Circling The Drain'.

Independently released, Woodroofe has switched gears with 'Circling The Drain', unleashing a frenetic, post-rock burst of distorted anger inspired by Mogwai, Ween and Beck.

"The vocals on the final track are actually from the original demo I recorded slouched over on the studio couch, holding the microphone in my hand," explains Woodroofe. "I tried to re-record them properly, but nothing ever felt as real or raw as that first take. The song was never about perfection. It just had to feel like the truth."

'Circling The Drain' signals the next chapter in Woodroofe's story as she builds on Rotate on the Ache (Part 1).

Discovered by Heath Ledger as a teenager and signed to his label The Masses Music at 17, Woodroofe had an eye-opening introduction to the music industry.

Her Ben Harper-produced debut album, Always Want, hit #3 on the Australian iTunes Charts and resulted in tours across the US, Australia and Italy.

After several years away from the spotlight, Woodroofe returned with a slew of new tracks, culminating in the release of Rotate on the Ache (Part 1).

This year she has toured with Sarah Blasko and Meg Washington and was last month announced as a finalist for the 2026 APRA AMCOS Songwriter Award as part of the Australian Women in Music Awards (AWMA).
