Tash Sultana (short for Natasha Sultana) is an Australian indie musician known for her fiery vocals and command of multiple instruments and looping pedals. Playing multi-layered compositions informed by vintage hard rock and alternative rock with powerful and expressive vocals, she first found the spotlight in 2016 via the Internet with live videos of her one-woman-band performances. Sultana's viral success led to international recognition and the release of her first full-length album in 2018. Sultana got her first guitar as a preschooler and went on to learn brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments, among others, always eager to learn more. She was busking on the streets of Melbourne by her mid-teens. Open about her battles with addiction at that time, she suffered a drug-induced psychosis at the age of 17. After recovering with the aid of professional help, Sultana started a Bandcamp page and began making videos of her performances and uploading them to YouTube. In the spring of 2016, when she was 20, a live recording of her song "Jungle" went viral on Facebook, accumulating over a million plays in less than a week. She released the six-track Notion EP that December, which included the guitar-based reggae tune. In the meantime, she accepted invitations to play at music festivals, and in early 2017 Sultana signed with New York's Mom + Pop Music, which gave her debut EP a multi-format release. That year also brought a busy touring schedule, with shows booked across Australia and New Zealand, Europe, the U.S., and Canada. The single "Mystikal" appeared in October 2017. Sultana rounded out her year with four Aria Award nominations, including Breakthrough Artist and Best Blues and Roots Album. "Mystikal" was a preview of Sultana's first full-length album, Flow State, which appeared in September 2018.

Flow State Seed (Intro) You gotta plant your seed To watch it grow I got the secrets locked inside of my mind The stories I never told I got the deepest devotion In the mistiest ocean Oh lover, I'm coming home to you And I'll see it through I see it through But when the cold game down the line I heard that the waiting feel was fine Why don't we step into the light 'Cause it's going on and on Until the break of dawn And everytime I call nobody's ever really home But I follow But I follow But I follow Follow my soul Follow my soul 'Cause I'm always gonna know The right way to go Because the feeling always shows The way back home Big Smoke Well I was going down on my lines And I heard that the waiting feel was fine But I was reading in between the lies Like I had my hands right over my eyes See this is what I despise of you and I I took a trip to the dark side I placed it on my tongue Re-wired my whole brain Started hell it begun The world drained from colour Black and white was the sun I forgot my own name I forgot who I was But when the big smoke comes I know the way 'Cause I wanna Guide your love Guide your love back home 'Cause when the big smoke comes I know the way 'Cause I wanna guide your love Back home Cigarettes Got a pack of cigarettes, 25 in a deck Don't you know this shit is not gonna solve your problems Why don't you take a breath Why don't we take a step closer to the edge my dear Don't you see my thoughts are drowning in the unclear I got a penny for your thoughts I got a dollar for the doubts I got a message for the lovers I got a message for myself I got a different point of view Diving in the deep blue sky See I found myself sitting there When I was getting high I'm on a permanent vacation to the soul And I don't feel like working my fingers to the bone And I fly like the bird above all of the bullshit And I'm looking down on myself To start all of the good shit And I know, I know, I know it's coming my way And I know, I know, I know it's coming my way I know sometimes, when it's raining down on me And I wish that I could unsee somethings I didn't wanna see, no You're not gonna be the one to mould my ego, no no I'd rather leave my bags at the door and let it all go I got a penny for your thoughts I got a dollar for the doubts I got a message for the lovers I got a message for myself I got a different point of view Diving in the deep blue sky See I found myself sitting there When I was getting high I'm on a permanent vacation to the soul And I don't feel like working my fingers to the bone And I fly like the bird above all of the bullshit And I'm looking down on myself To start all of the good shit And I know, I know, I know it's coming my way And I know, I know, I know it's coming my way Murder To The Mind Tell me Do you feel Are you real Do you seem satisfied within yourself 'Cause there was sometimes in my life Where I have to cut the strings loose I didn't know what to do I couldn't see the beautiful world That was in front of you And I was begging for forgiveness But I couldn't forgive myself And I was screaming out for help It was murder to the mind There was blood on my hands Fire in my soul It was murder to the mind There was blood on my hands Fire in my soul It was murder to the mind There was blood on my hands Fire in my soul So tell me where'd the time go And where it stops Nobody really knows And I throw my hands up, I surrender to the night Kiss the pain away And no, I never wanna see your face again But I was picking apart, picking apart Picking apart the good days Trying to find myself I emerged from a fog haze Six months strong, I don't know where the time has gone But I tell my mama, do you think she'd be proud I tell my father put two feet on the ground 'Cause I was only screaming out for help It was murder to the mind There was blood on my hands Fire in my soul It was murder to the mind There was blood on my hands Fire in my soul It was murder to the mind There was blood on my hands Fire in my soul Murder to the mind Blood on my hands Fire in my soul It was murder to the mind Fire in my soul Salvation I guess I'm just changing with the wind Turning in a different direction again and again and again No, I'm sorry, I don't have to spell it out for you, my friend 'Cause I just got a few things I gotta get off my chest I know it's hard to digest Why don't you come inside and pull up a chair Turn the music up loud and sit over there Don't you see I got myself into a bit of a pickle over here Why don't you invite the devil inside To dance around my living room Only got a table for two I put my face inside my hands 'Cause I fucking hate the things you do I said the road is long Keep carrying on I don't need your loving for my salvation I found myself between the dirt and desperation I don't need you for my own validation I said the road is long Keep carrying on I don't need your loving for my salvation I found myself between the dirt and desperation I don't need you for my own validation Picture perfect memory I put it in your pocket Oh no, I guess you forgot it Cut your hair it all feels the same I'm burning the clothes you wear It doesn't change the game I'm staring deep into the dancing flame I let the fire fuel your soul, it doesn't hide the shame And oh the things that I would do To give away the pain 'Cause every time I call I'm getting to the message tone And I've been sitting here waiting by the telephone Calculating reason in my mind All night long I guess it goes on and on And I thought that you might get the picture that I'm moving forward with my life When I left nothing for you to get by I said the road is long Keep carrying on I don't need your loving for my salvation I found myself between the dirt and desperation I don't need you for my own validation I said the road is long Keep carrying on I don't need your loving for my salvation I found myself between the dirt and desperation I don't need you for my own validation I said the road is long Keep carrying on I don't need your loving for my salvation I found myself between the dirt and desperation I don't need you for my own validation I said the road is long Keep carrying on I don't need your loving for my salvation I found myself between the dirt and desperation I don't need you for my own validation Pink Moon Pink moon, light the darkest room So I'll find my way Put the records on, play my favourite song Wipe the dust away Carry that weight, I miss the motion Bury your heart in the deepest ocean And I will tremble, quivering hands I sink like quick sand, oh Blinded by the light Putting up one hell of a fight Weightless in the water Don't care what they taught you No I don't care, no I don't No I don't, I don't care And no, I don't care 'Cause I'm going crazy, again 'Cause I'm going crazy, again Pink moon, light the darkest room So I'll unhinge my brain Send me on a soul train, kiss away the pain It all feels the same Put the kettle on, coffee high for fun Cut the noose, run away You're running with the wind Winter soon ends, and I'm buckling in my shins Blinded by the light Put up one hell of a fight Weightless in the water Don't care what they taught you No I don't care, no I don't, no I don't, no, no, no, no 'Cause I don't care No, I don't care And no, I don't care No, I don't care 'Cause I'm going crazy 'Cause I'm going crazy 'Cause I'm going crazy 'Cause I'm going crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy 'Cause I'm going crazy Oh, again, again, again Mellow Marmalade I seep sourly into the depths of my mind And find my sorriness so very hard to define I got my soul all twisted, tangled in a noose so When the good outweighed the bad, I said "Oh hell, what's the use" I keep throwing stones like a child with broken bones And my mother always told me "You gotta leave your bags at the door" But I didn't wanna talk it through Say things I don't give a fuck about No, I didn't wanna be next to you I was feeling sorry for myself And I like, I like, I like, I like my eggs sunny side up Is that a problem with you 'Cause I don't wanna live my life without you So baby girl, oh why don't we slow it down And don't go walking away from me, right now So baby girl oh why don't we slow it down And don't go walking away yeah From me And oh, call it Lady Marmalade The mellow yellow The way you touched my soul was so damn evil Oh, can you tell me what is that song I heard it playing on the radio But I didn't wanna talk it through Say things I don't give a fuck about No, I didn't wanna be next to you 'Cause I was feeling sorry for myself And I like, I like, I like, I like my eggs sunny side up Is that a problem with you? No, I don't carry on living my life with a pessimistic view So Baby girl why don't we Slow it down And don't go walking away From me, right now, right now So baby girl why don't we slow it down And don't go, and don't go, don't, don't, don't, don't go walking away From me, from me, from me From, from, me Harvest Love Harvest your love, harvest your love, for me I'll lay it down, I'll lay it down, slowly Put your hands on my face At an orderly pace I see Put your love in the sand As it makes no demands I believe I believe But you keep on rolling On rolling stone And you fight until the finish line Carries home Carries you home I had a plan 'Cause I had a plan, you see It was based on the rules that my mother and father taught me Press the iron when it's hot And you jump right in Because the unfed mind devours itself Water your garden Water your garden Water your garden But you keep on rolling On a rolling stone And you fight until the finish line Carries you home, home Carries you home, home Carry me, carry me Carry me home But you keep on rolling Mystik Voodoo truth why don't you tie the noose Run circles through the senses wave Rhythm healer is your false defeater Lock me inside of your cage Turn the lights down slowly You don't even know me Come closer to the knife I'm seeking the truth within My heart was filled with sin I learnt about your sacrifice There's a natural mystik in the air And darling you were looking at me with that Innocent stare Said are you real and do you feel and are You really there There's a natural mystik in the air And darling you were looking at me with that Innocent stare Said are you real and do you feel and are You really there Hoodoo guru Now I ask for your direction Please put your hands up in the air where I can see them You see I suffocate myself at night, drowning in my dreaming No I forgot my peace when I knew it was there Lonesome wandering soul walked the earth my heart was bare I kiss the ground No I was never found I guess I lay my ego to rest There's a natural mystik in the air Darling you were looking at me with that innocent stare Said are you real and do you feel And are you really there There's a natural mystik in the air Darling you were looking at me with that innocent stare Said are you real and do you feel And are you really there Free Mind I woke up on the wrong side of the bed again Can somebody tell me what day this is You got your blue jeans with that white shirt and your glasses on And you don't seem yourself, no Don't bother calling the doctor, doctor for this kind of disease Unscrew my mind I walk with ease 'Cause I can feel it crawling underneath my skin But you wrap me in your cinnamon Honeysuckle, suck it in Tuck me in your warmth, I wanna feel you breathe it in When will my mind be free From all the chains that hold me Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me down When will my mind be free From all the chains that hold me Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me down Leaving my brain in the sixth dimension Sacrifice the pain I forgot to mention Turn out the lights, the dark fills the night I can see through your eyes The smell of vanilla, oh it lingers Like honey coated marmalade on the tips of your fingers Turn out the lights, the dark fills the night I can see through your eyes There I was just rolling in the deep Coming up for air, why don't you suffocate my dreams The bird with the word, why don't you carry me Carry me When will my mind be free From all the chains that hold me Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me down When will my mind be free From all the chains that hold me Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me down Blackbird Have you seen that blackbird Coming down the line Can't you hear that whistle blowing But it's blowing out of time Have you seen that blackbird I guess it's long gone now Like the wind, it carries me away And like the lightning, it's only thunder When it rains down on me When rains down When it rains down On me It's washing me clean It's washing me clean
Terra Firma Crop Circles Crop circles on the carpet now, I'm scared The only thing I fear is my death Can somebody tell me, tell me where I go Way down in the ground right below Will I be rotten to the core Or will I ascend to the big and white pearly doors I don't wanna do it on my own And I don't want to work or talk And talk the walk alone Is it real now, does it seem now Or something I should have dreamed now Or is it something somebody told me long ago Crop circles on the carpet now, I'm dead The only thing I fear is my head Can somеbody tell me therе's a better way for this Way down, I've been out long ago But I get surface, sent for more 'Cause somebody showed me, showed me where we go Showed me where we go Showed me where we go Showed me where we go Greed It's not about the money Money put the money in the bank Money breeds greed and greed is really bad Money, money, oh, I never really had And I got by just fine not workin' for the man Thinkin' you got a dollar but you only got a dime Hustle up your lovin' to see the sunshine The simple things and the simple things And people only givin' a shit when you hide yourself Try mould to perfection When you don't feel like feeding the mouth Bite the hand that feeds your wealth And that ain't good for my mental health, oh, no They only give a shit when you make it big Frame my memory when I'm dead and gone Turn their back when you make a hit But if you love it then you'll hold it down They only give a shit when you make it big Frame my memory when I'm dead and gone Turn their back when you make a hit But if you love it then you'll hold it down You gotta hold it down Make a million dollars but it ain't that much When it passes through the hands and they take their cuts So put your face on the poster, got the people inside When the debt rolls around, they go run and hide Eastside to the seaside Southside to the middle and of course, I died Head north to the border to get the time over And when the sun comes down I surrender to the night (I surrender to the night) And I will kiss away my pride (I will kiss away my pride) And I know it will find me one day All in good time They only give a shit when you make it big Frame my memory when I'm dead and gone Turn their back when you make a hit But if you love it then you'll hold it down They only give a shit when you make it big Frame my memory when I'm dead and gone Turn their back when you make a hit But if you love it then you'll hold it down You gotta hold it down Beyond The Pine When I think about it, our love's rouge My love comes seeping through You know that I get lost without you When I don't make no sense, no, no sense And if we follow then you'll find it You meet me in the maze In the place beyond the pine In the place we always wait And if you be kind, little darlin', then our love's fantasy And all that fightin', all that hidin', don't mean shit to me 'Cause I let your love forsake me like nobody else And I want your arms to take me like nobody else Ooh, I need you to save me 'Cause I can't save myself You know, you know, you know We've been on the phone talkin' late at night Tellin' me to come over Try to have some

sweater I thought I was doing better at controlling my temper I thought I was doing better at taking all the pressure I'm not, but does it make you feel better With the bitter weather and your nana's knitted sweater I thought I was doing better at controlling my temper I forgot you were like a butterfly in the rain on a feather And we fly, and we fly, and we fly away But if I try and move slowly Then my thoughts control me And if I don't act quickly I'll get left behind And if I speak so softly Then I don't see clearly And I can say Oh, my God, I gotta open up my mind Open up, open up my mind Vanilla honey, can you rise above me And lace me with your lady loving, girl Vanilla honey, can you rise above me And lace me with your lady loving, girl La-la, lady Lady loving, lady loving Lady

taking all my leisure I thought that I was slowly piecing myself back together I am, but does it make you feel better In your fancy leather and your most fitted dress up I thought that I was better at taking all my leisure I forgot that I was doing better at holding my shit back together And I hide, and I hide, and I hide away But if I try and move slowly Then my thoughts control me And if I don't

1975 (Sugar EP) You listen to The 1975 while I just try to feel alive The disconnect you know I see it You're turning pages like the seasons I read to try to find the meaning Nonfiction, I don't like to live out fantasy Is it weak to see the colour drain Is it wrong to break the window frame Is it cool to misplace the face that you were wearing all along Does it suck when your luck runs out Does it hurt to cry and let it out Does it feel the way we used to feel so many years ago When we were young Cause we can talk talk talk til the lights go out And we can dance and shout til our lungs give out The moon will sweep us off our feet And into galaxies And the blackened sky makes our senses rise And we convince ourselves for a moment of time That this is where we're meant to be When we all fall asleep When we are all knee deep Inside the water that is rising For the tide to come and take us out to sea This is how it feels to just be, free You listen to The 1975 while all your friends are getting high Sitting out and talking shit by candlelight Designer things and diamond rings Sold your soul for that quick fix You know we're not so different you and me So we sink To depth we know we couldn't reach With thoughts we know we shouldn't think Running from secrets we know We probably should not speak And the shadows come to haunt my dreams And my mouth just cannot say these things But someday you will know The things I do not show About me Cause we can talk talk talk til the lights go out And we can dance and shout til our lungs give out The moon will sweep us off our feet And into galaxies And the blackened sky makes our senses rise And we convince ourselves for a moment of time That this is where we're meant to be When we all fall asleep When we are all knee deep Inside the water that is rising For the tide to come and take us out to sea This is how it feels to just be, free
