Retrieve (EP | 2026) by Airling - OUT NOW

Produced / Mixed by Tom Iansek

Recorded by Graham Ritchie and Tom Iansek

Mastered by Andrei Eremin


R e t r i e v e /rɪ’triːv/
To find and bring something precious back.
To retrieve what was lost.
To go forth and recover.

Returning with a collection of sophisticated dream-pop songs that pair crisp RnB production with crystalline vocals, Retrieve explores experiences of loss, recovery, infatuation and power. It was written and recorded with long time collaborators Tom Iansek (#1 Dads, Big Scary) and Graham Ritchie (Holy Holy, Scenes) - the same team as her debut EP Love Gracefully, and LP Hard to Sleep, Easy to Dream - at her home in Brisbane, 4000 Studios and BellBird Studio, Melbourne. Each moment played, spoken, sung or programmed by Graham, Tom and Hannah together. The first instalment of the EP, 'Mona Lisa', is a vibrant declaration of trust and leaps of faith.


Direct from Airling: "I’ve always had a fascination with the human body and the human condition… our fragility and astounding depth of resilience. My voice has evolved with me and my life. Connecting with people through music isn’t the same as helping the most vulnerable, but I find it weirdly similar. It’s a different energy but there’s this familiar warmth. And when writing the songs on Retrieve, I found myself in my favourite state... a song comes to me and I just play."

A very special run of intimate solo shows up north for Maple Glider in May. Thanks to the ever inspiring Jet Black Music for taking music to these incredible venues.

They each tell their own story, but belong together as sister albums.
