Hyped songstress Austen praised new single 'Anthem' has been added to spot rotation on triple j and an add on triple j unearthed alongside adoration from AAA Backstage, Cool Accidents, Kings of A&R, Purple Sneakers and STACK Mag.
Austen delves into the emotions behind the track, saying “Anthem is about how a relationship is mainly just finding someone who’s messed up parts fit well with your own.”
Named in triple j unearthed’s Top 40 Most Played Artists last year after releasing only one song, 2018 was Austen’s biggest year yet. She was handpicked by unearthed to play their BIGSOUND showcase and finished up the year on the road with Paces as his main support. ‘Anthem’ is the follow up to audience favourite ‘Too High To Cry’ which landed in Dave Ruby-Howe’s Top Ten unearthed tracks of the year.
