Adelaide talent Jen Lush returns with her first new music in two years with the double single ‘Wolf & The Dog / Black Wing’.
Both tracks highlight Lush’s varied musical palette, with ‘Wolf & The Dog’ a bluesy-inspired folk rocker with a rollicking solo and ‘Black Wing’ a harmonious guitar-driven wonder.
“‘Black Wing’ was born in solitude on a writing retreat, sparked by the loss of a Black Wing pencil and the discovery of a lone black cockatoo feather in an open field,” Lush explains. “A meditation on impermanence and letting go, it was written with an ordinary pencil, in a quietly extraordinary moment.”
Speaking on the second track, Lush says, “Between Wolf & Dog began as a haunting riff from guitarist Sam Cagney and grew into a full collaboration with my band, The Field. Inspired by Georgia Blain’s novel, it inhabits the dusky threshold where friend blurs with foe, and the known slips into uncertainty.”

Backed by her band The Field, comprising James Brown, Paul Angas, Sam Cagney and Mark Seddon, Lush has performed all across the country and is currently back in the studio, intending to release more new music before the year is out.
