St. South is the moniker Perth-born, Sydney-based singer-songwriter-producer-multi-instrumentalist Olivia Gavranich (she/they). Describing her music as, “heartbreak indie-pop that you can feel and heal to,” she self-released her debut EP Nervous Energy in 2016, which garnered millions of streams, as well as TV placements on The Vampire Diaries and The Fosters. In 2020, St. South released their debut full-length album, Get Well Soon, a record that unfolds a story of grief, heartbreak and ultimately, self-love. St. South’s new EP BIG SADS (Sept 2024) finds her at a significant personal crossroads. After her father passed away in 2020, the grief nearly led to creative paralysis. Six months later, Liv sat down to write in her home studio. The result, BIG SADS, is a delicately produced collection of alt-indie-pop tracks that mine the infinite shades of loss, love, and hope for better days. A small project about some very big feelings, BIG SADS is a peek of sunlight through the clouds.
