Naarm composer, producer and former member of 90’s indie faves The Earthmen, Nick Batterham announces his forthcoming album The Sentimentalist, which is available now through Cheersquad Records and Tapes.
 
On his deeply engaging seventh solo album The Sentimentalist, Batterham leans into the power of a lifetime spent looking back. From alt roots adjacent folk through to noisy guitar driven and orchestral pop, the album is a carefully crafted exploration of love and hope that is all things heart worn, heart-warming and irresistibly relatable.
 
“My whole life and livelihood has depended on reading, reflecting and communicating emotion,” Batterham explains. The experience of looking inward for his work has served to deliver the conclusion that, “what might feel like a weakness can actually be an asset”.
