Tash Sultana Returns With New Single, 'Milk & Honey'

Fans of Tash Sultana can start their celebrations today, with the acclaimed muso making a welcome return thanks to their latest single, Milk & Honey.

Arriving almost 18 months on from 2023’s Sugar EP, the equally-sweet Milk & Honey is the first taste of a transformative year for Tash, with the new track seeing them return to those early roots that made the world take note.

Boasting a reggae-based rock groove, the track captures the frenzied mentality of those restless late-night thoughts, and pairs it with a hypnotic backing that might sound a little familiar. In fact, it’s this looping style that serves as the backbone of the track, feeling very much like a return to Tash’s early days busking on the streets of Melbourne.

“I hadn't written a track that was looping based for a very long time,” Tash explained. “I steered away from it because I felt as though I'd been pigeon holed as only a ‘looper and not so much of a musician/composer/producer.”

The release of Milk & Honey also comes accompanied by a Live at Lonely Lands Studio performance, showing the listener and viewer where it all began for Tash, as they provide a tribute to those early, unpolished bedroom performances with rare intimacy.

“Milk & Honey is a return to the roots, a return to the beginning of why and how music made me feel in the first place when it was just ‘plug your shit in and jam’, it was less structured, less focused on delivering a ‘hit’, and less pressure to be anything other than just the jam itself,” Tash explained.

“I've seen a lot in my career as an artist and approaching a more mature side of it 10 years in. I've seen many fast lanes, been in many fast lanes, crashed the vehicle, rebuilt from the wreck, rehabbed my brain and it always lands me in the same place – back to the start.”

Having wrapped up a run of Aussie shows back in October, Tash is looking to hit the road again soon, most notably with a performance at the remarkable Red Rocks Amphitheatre in the US on June 20th. Undoubtedly, it’ll be another mesmerising highlight for the acclaimed artist.

Tash’s most recent album, Terra Firma, arrived in 2021 and became their first to top the Aussie charts. In 2023, they released the Sugar EP, which featured singles such as James Dean, New York, and Bitter Lovers – a collaboration with BJ The Chicago Kid.
