On their first album in five years, Cloher finally breathes out. \u003cem\u003eI Am The River, The River Is Me\u003c\/em\u003e, her fifth album, is verdant and rich; it luxuriates in stillness, and carries itself with cool, unfussy confidence.

Recorded between Aotearoa (NZ) and Naarm (Melbourne) with producers Tom Healy (Tiny Ruins, Marlon Williams), Anika Ostendorf (Hachiku) and Cloher’s longtime drummer Jen Sholakis; the album brings in trailblazing artists including Emma Donovan (Gumbaynggirr, Yamatji), Kylie Auldist, Liz Stringer, Te Kaahu (Waikato-Tainui, Ngāti Tīpā), Ruby Solly (Kai Tahu, Waitaha, Kāti Māmoe) and members of the Naarm-based Kapa Haka, Te Hononga o ngā Iwi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe entire record feels communal — a celebration not just of Cloher, but of the rich, life-filled communities that surround them. These are fiercely political songs that never feel heavy: They are energetic and full-blooded, alive with the knowledge that to simply exist — to scream and laugh and sing and make art — is as much a form of resistance as to fight.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Milk!
