Likened to artists like Lana Del Ray and Angel Olsen, emerging Australian alternative country, indie artist Tori Forsyth continues to expand her own sonic territory as she embraces an eclectic range of influences.
This journey includes the release today of her second studio album, 'Provlépseis'."This record is definitely very personal," Tori reveals. "Whenever I write, it's difficult for me to not be the centrepiece of the song."
Remaining true to herself is what drives Tori's creative expression and, while creating this striking 13-track collection, she allowed herself to be guided by the needs of each individual song, freed from genre expectations.
This creative path to traverse different genres can easily be traced back to Tori's own set of eclectic musical influences that range from Stevie Nicks and Miley Cyrus to Nirvana and The Cranberries; so it's a natural step for Tori to embrace guitar-driven rock elements with her newer material.
"I've learned a lot since releasing my first record," Tori says. "I've not just grown but I've grown up.
"My musical tastes have expanded an incredible amount. I'm the type of person that's going to listen to heavy metal in the morning then blues and roots and country in the night. I listen to music all day and it's such a vast spectrum of music."
We asked Tori to share some of the female artists who inspired her new album, and it opened the door to her stepping outside of her original alt-country roots.
