Banjo Lucia returns with her evocative new single, ‘Cartwheel’—her first release since the critically acclaimed 2022 debut EP Peccadilloes. Produced by Julia Wallace (Stella Donnelly, Methyl Ethel), mixed by Jake Webb aka Methyl Ethel and mastered by Björk’s engineer Heba Kadry, the track showcases Banjo’s gift for emotionally charged storytelling, weaving vulnerability and raw honesty into a sound that is deeply compelling and distinctively hers. 

Since first emerging in 2021, the Fremantle-born singer-songwriter has carved out a space as one of Australia’s most compelling new voices, with her debut EP Peccadilloes earning critical acclaim from the likes of Rolling Stone, VICE, and triple j elevating her from relative obscurity to an artist to watch.

Banjo has since gone from strength to strength, selling out headline shows, performing at major festivals, and touring across Australia, the UK, and Europe with artists such as Stella Donnelly, Sharon Van Etten, and Ásgeir. This will be WA’s last chance to catch her before she relocates to Naarm/Melbourne.

With ‘Cartwheel’, Banjo delves into the fragility and joy of human connection, delivering a deeply personal reflection on love, growth, and life’s unpredictability.

‘Cartwheel’ is out Fri Feb 6 via AWAL.

With special guests Anna Schneider + Julia Wallace.
