Album Notes & Community Reviews

Returning from a sixteen-year absence from the recording studio, the pioneering Indigenous folk icon embraced cutting-edge digital technology to modernize her sound. 'Coincidence and Likely Stories' was famously transmitted via dial-up modem to her producer in London, blending early home-computer synthesizers with her fiercely political, activist songwriting. The album revitalized her career and proved her ongoing relevance in the modern era.
