Tanya Ransom is an alt-country artist from the west coast of Australia, with over 15 years of experience on the Australian touring circuit, two independent albums and an EP. She has a third album, The Significance of Time, due for release sometime soon – date tbc – and from it has the new single ‘Winter Song’.

This interview was recorded in February, as Ransom was planning to release the album earlier in the year, but as is the way of things with releases – and life in general! – plans changed. So you may hear some dates mentioned that are now past, but the conversation is still relevant and will only whet your appetite for the album, which is a truly lovely piece of work.

A big part of the impact of Ransom’s music is her voice, which I loved when I heard her 2017 album The Art of Departing and through the releases since. There is a quality to it that’s hard to explain but which I think has something to do with the places she is prepared to go to, within herself, as an artist.

As Ransom writes about the human condition – in big themes and small details – this conversation delves into some of the reasons why, and we look at some of the songs in detail. We also talk about Ransom’s background as an artist as well as her career, which has included a 2021 EP with the memorable title Breakdown to Breakthrough.

You can preorder The Significance of Time on Bandcamp.
