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 with The Vampire Diaries and The Fosters. She followed that up with 2017’s Inure EP. 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.Following Get Well Soon, St. South’s new EP BIG SADS (September 2024) finds the Australian artist at a significant personal crossroads. After her father passed away in September 2020, Liv’s devastation nearly led to creative paralysis. Writing no longer satisfied—she was just feeling too much at once.Six months later, while simultaneously coping with the end of a long-term relationship, 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.
