Jen Cloher - I Am The River, The River Is Me

I Am The River, The River Is Me is the third solo studio album by Australian singer songwriter Jen Cloher, released in March 2023 via Milk! Records.

Jen Cloher (Ngapuhi & Ngati Kahu) is a songwriter and performer living on unceded Wurundjeri land in Naarm (Melbourne). Cloher’s taut, terse brand of rock is charged with the static tension that comes with being an eternal misfit.

I Am The River, The River Is Me, is verdant and rich; it luxuriates in stillness, and carries itself with cool, unfussy confidence.

It suggests that home is not found in a place or a politic, but in the community you keep: Inspired by Cloher’s powerful matrilineal line of wāhine Māori, I Am The River, The River Is Me is not urgent, or hurried, but it is vital, made with the care and ease of someone who knows that their past began before birth, and will continue long after they’re gone.

This album is a limited edition on solid green coloured vinyl with a printed inner sleeve and insert, pressed in Australia via Milk! Records.
