Sarah Blasko is coming to Brunswick Picture House!

“I Just Need To Conquer This Mountain” 2025 Regional Tour
ON SALE 13 DECEMBER @ 9am

Sarah Blasko is touring in celebration of her seventh solo album I Just Need To Conquer This Mountain which debuted at #6 on the ARIA Australian Album Chart and was crowned Double J Feature Album. It traces the inevitability of painful goodbyes in all their forms and the final acceptance that follows a period of grief, and sees Sarah Blasko firmly in the present as she searches for the light that comes with new beginnings. In their glowing album review, MOJO named it “her defining album so far” with Rolling Stone Australia sharing that “from the top, she takes us to church, confesses, hollows us out, refills our cups” in their 4-star review. Blasko’s much-loved and highly acclaimed live show takes the album to a simultaneously more expansive and intimate place — watch a selection of tracks recorded live from the ABC Studios for a special Double J and triple j edition of Live at the Wireless.

I Just Need To Conquer This Mountain is an album of late night reflections on goodbyes, grief, new beginnings, and an important friendship that underpinned Sarah Blasko’s childhood, and finds one of Australia’s most revered songwriters more reflective and more personal than ever before. It was recorded at Rancom Street Studios in Eora/Sydney with engineer Brent Clark, produced by Sarah Blasko and mixed by Kenny Gilmore (Weyes Blood, Julia Holter, Ariel Pink), and marked a new approach to writing and recording from that of her earlier records — “This album was probably the most relaxed and free feeling record I’ve made” — while thematically traversing both the heartbreak and quiet calm that comes with letting go of your younger self, how thin the line between tragedy and comedy becomes the older we get, and the way that time changes ourselves, our hopes and our dreams. Despite roaming some big subject matter, I Just Need to Conquer This Mountain is a declaration of positivity and hope amidst the difficulty of life, one that recognises the duality in all things, and pushes forward into the light.
