Australian singer-songwriter Angie McMahon has returned with new single “Just Like North,” a refreshing reminder to embrace pain and failure as a part of life. The track beautifully echoes the sentiment of cycles that appear across McMahon’s recent album Light, Dark, Light Again, and rightfully so - McMahon wrote “Just Like North” at the same time as the album, and recorded it with producer Brad Cook (Bon Iver, Snail Mail, The War On Drugs), in Durham, NC where the bulk of the record was laid down.

“‘Just Like North’ is one of my favorites from the writing period of Light, Dark, Light Again,” says McMahon. “In the end it didn’t fit into the sequencing, and I always wanted to put it out somehow. It was written in a School of Song session led by Courtney Marie Andrews, who prompted us to respond in some way to a beautiful poem called 'You Can’t Have It All’  by Barbara Ras. This one was also mixed by Alex O’Gorman. We’ve been playing it on tour lately because it holds the album theme of trusting in the course of failure and rebirth.”

Released last October, Light, Dark, Light Again found McMahon unafraid to explore the personal to ultimately reach a place of personal rebirth and discovery, coming undone and then healing slowly and strangely across the record. The album garnered praise from NPR’s Weekend Edition (“very thoughtful and crafted with deep meaning”), NMEand Rolling Stone (who each named it one of Australia’s top 3 albums of 2023), Nylon(“big, unabashedly full sounds”), Consequence (“an outpouring of love and emotion”) and The Guardian (“a record of this moment”). She was also named Billboard’s Indie Artist of the Month, made a viral appearance on Track Star and more. 

McMahon will be returning to North America this month for a string of full-band Midwest and East Coast tour dates stopping in Chicago, Nashville, Atlanta, Cleveland and more. She’ll be arriving on the heels of a packed performance at Glastonbury, multiple sold-out shows at Melbourne's Forum Theatre and the Sydney Opera House, and an appearance with long-time supporter Fred Again on stage in front of 15,000 fans in Australia. She was most recently in the US this spring for a fully sold-out run of coast-to-coast shows plus intimate sets with Track StarKEXP and WFUV.
