Private Function
If it s a good song, Sweet Whirl can dance real fine to it. Previously a player in Melbourne duo Superstar and the beloved outfit Scott & Charlene’s Wedding, Esther Edquist proves, with her solo project, that she is a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter at the top of her game.
Sweet Whirl emerged in 2019 with a string of hotly watched releases, before dropping How Much Works, her debut album. Released through the thoughtful indie stalwarts at Chapter Music, it s a record that confidently carved out a space where beauty triumphs over bleakness and the personal becomes universal.
Tender but never precious, the songs on How Much Works are the love-addled confessions of a seasoned party girl, covering intimate emotional terrain and nodding to the influence of Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Jean-Paul Sartre and Sheryl Crow.

The Walsh Street series kicked off in early December, and has showcased performances from Kee’ahn, Mindy Meng Wang, Baby t and Sweet Whirl, whose performance also featured Gregor.
‘Love Echoes Loud’ is lifted from Gregor’s second album, ‘Destiny’, which arrived in November through Melbourne label Chapter. The new album is a follow-up to his debut record, ‘Silver Drop’, released in 2018. In addition to ‘Love Echoes Loud’, Gregor released the singles ‘The Rock (and the Stars)’ and ‘Senseless’ in the lead-up to ‘Destiny’.
