Shannen James’ long-awaited debut Patchwork is a record that takes shape from every experience, idea, thought and feeling she has ever had. Across 12 spirited tracks, it's a collection of songs stitched together, each showcasing different textures, patterns and colours pulled from a lifetime's worth of moments, to create one cohesive record. A decade in the making – following the alt-pop artist’s beloved EP Arrows, two chart-toppers on triple j’s Most Played list (2020’s ‘Arrows’ and 2021’s ‘Superstitious’), and with over 90 shimmering songs in her back pocket condensed to a curated 12 – this moment is one Shannen James is ready to embrace headfirst.
