Flow State is the typical Sultana's smooth twinkles whose soothing character is undeniable, but damn she couldn't write a song to save her life. This is of course blatant exaggeration on my part, as she's capable of crafting potent songs ("Cigarettes" or "Free Mind") but they do not constitute the majority of the tracklisting here.

My main concern with Tash Sultana's debut was whether or not the pretensions of her EP would unbalance her work. This was not allayed by the first glimpse of either the title or artwork of "Flow State" but I am delighted to say that the artist we first met on "Notion" was just getting started. Sultana commits herself so heavily to the DIY arrangements that you actually can't tell it's DIY at all - every track is laden with tricky, immersive instrumentals layered upon layered, lending to a dream-like atmosphere. The breadth of Sultana's musicianship goes far beyond the "next big guitar hero" mantle into which she could have comfortably nestled as piano and trumpet are regularly deployed. One of the best albums of the year and one of the best debuts by an Australian artist.
