Theia - Girl, In A Savage World (Metallic Gold Vinyl) (Pre-Order)
Limited Edition Metallic Gold Heavyweight 180gm first pressing
Girl, In A Savage World is the phenomenal debut album by one of Aotearoa’s most gifted songwriters – the enigmatic Theia.
Those who have followed Theia ’s journey in music, including the success of her award-winning alt-folk project TE KAAHU , will already know the beauty of her voice and the strength of her songwriting.
Now, Theia reveals her most powerful work yet – Girl, In A Savage World. The 10-track album blends her trademark ethereal vocals and haunting harmonies with Māori instrumentation and contemporary soundscapes to create a unique sound that defies categorisation.
A fierce proponent for the revitalisation of Māori language and culture, Girl, In A Savage World sees Theia (Waikato, Ngaati Tiipaa, Ngaati Aaamaru) imparting poignant and timely messages of hope, resilience and above all, tino rangatiratanga!
The album features the singles BALDH3AD! , a finalist for ‘ Single of the Year’ at the 2025 Aotearoa Music Awards ; and ‘ My Sister’s Hand In Mine ’ an achingly beautiful collaboration with American avant-folk luminary Jolie Holland.
“The record has been a long time coming, but I really wanted to take my time with these songs. I’ve pored over every lyric, every melody, and every harmony’, says Theia , who co-produced the record with Abraham Kunin ( TE KAAHU , Home Brew ).
Theia will be touring the album in early 2026.
