PREMIERE: Freya Josephine Hollick - Tough As A Sundried Dead Man's Skin

Old-timey folk queen Freya Josephine Hollick is gearing up to launch her new EP, Don't Mess With The Doyenne, and has exclusively shared the first taste of it with the tongue-in-cheek new single and video for Tough As A Sundried Dead Man's Skin.

With some rockin' fiddle, pedal steel badassery and that twangy, irresistible voice, the video was shot around Ballarat and features Hollick frolicking (hah!) around in an amazing green pantsuit.

"There's a lot of very kitsch buildings and motels around Ballarat and so we just made use of those kinda places that I've grown up in, like, '70s and '80s architecture," Hollick says. 

She "can be soft/[she] can be sweet" as the song says, but Hollick explains, "This single is about having to be quite resilient as a woman in the music industry."
