Street Chant
In a revealing essay penned for The Pantograph Punch last September, Street Chant’s Emily Littler documented the litany of difficulties she faced while trying to complete the band’s much delayed second LP: “Writers’ block, poor band dynamics, substance abuse problems... you name it. With the release of Hauora, Littler and bandmate Billie Rogers talk us through the album’s laboured delivery.
