ELIZABETH ANNOUNCES MELBOURNE ALBUM LAUNCH AS PART OF BRUNSWICK MUSIC FESTIVAL + SHARES PARTIES (ALICE IVY REMIX)
Today Elizabeth announces her Melbourne album launch show for The Wonderful World of Nature at Estonian House on Monday 16th March, as a part of Brunswick Music Festival. Support for this show will come from powerhouses Eilish Gilligan, Katie Dey and Chitra.
This launch will join the shows already announced in Sydney and Brisbane, as well as appearances at the Grampians Music Festival and Meadow Music Festival to make up the Australian leg of The Wonderful World of Nature Album Tour. Tickets for these very special shows are available now, all links below.
Today Elizabeth also shares a glitter-soaked remix of her track parties courtesy of Alice Ivy on Pilerats. You can read more about the collaboration with both artists and how the remix came about here

The remix provides the glamour-tragic, cinematic beauty of parties a new veil of smoke and haze for the club environment. Elizabeth's cathartic and bittersweet imagery of crying in the club paired with the vibrant dayglo sounds of Alice Ivy make for a perfect combo – the club as both celebratory and melancholy. Two sides of the emotionally spinning coin. Alice Ivy's remix leaves a bruise where the original parties left a wound.
Of working with Elizabeth on the remix, Alice Ivy said “I still remember the first time I heard Elizabeth singing, it was a Sunday morning at Meredith Music Festival and she completely cured my hangover! I was stoked to be able to flip ‘’parties’’ into a little dance remix.”
The remix's accompanying video was beautifully crafted by Elizabeth's ex-wife Xanthe Dobbie - a Melbourne and Sydney based new media artist and curator. Their practice aims to capture the experience of post-internet contemporaneity and the visuals provide the perfect accompaniment to the glistening remix.
For the first month of release, all proceeds from the download of parties (Alice Ivy remix) via Bandcamp will be split between The Fire Relief Fund for First Nations Communities and Wildlife Victoria.
