“I’ve been running Art As Catharsis for more than ten years now, and I’m grateful for the chance to work with so many amazing artists. They’ve inspired me to try and be both a better person, and a better musician.
To celebrate our 10 year anniversary, we’ve released Decade Of Progression: 10 Years Of Art As Catharsis’ – a compilation featuring many of our favourite acts.“
“For ten years Art As Catharsis has given shape to my life. I am grateful to have been nourished by countless musicians from the Australian underground and beyond. Their art has inspired me to try and be both a better person, and a better musician.
This compilation gives you a sense of this labor of love, which has helped me through many hard times. It features many of our favourite artists – and while they might play a diverse range of styles, they all follow our ethos of creating music that is vital and forward-thinking.
Thank you to everyone who has helped us along our journey – from the musicians, the fans, and our wonderful supporters. Thank you for supporting art and music in these strange and difficult times. Without you the world would be a poorer place.
Here’s to another decade of growing and sharing together.“
