BATTS is the project of England born – Melbourne based musician and space enthusiast Tanya Batt. Creating a blend of folk and rock, whilst weaving in samples collected from space missions courtesy of NASA, throughout her first record ‘The Grand Tour’.
2022 saw BATTS moving away from space collaborations and onto collaborating with two of her songwriting idols – Sharon Van Etten and Deep Sea Diver on her second record ‘The Nightline’. It was released via Australian indie darlings ‘Mistletone Records’ which was supported widely around the world, leading to nominations from the Australian Music Prize, Australian Women In Music Awards and Music Victoria Awards.
BATTS has toured Australia extensively building an impressive resume with many international and local artists – Sharon Van Etten, Lucius, Cate Le Bon, Beth Orton, Vika & Linda, The Teskey Brothers, The Magic Numbers, Nilüfer Yanya, Leif Vollebekk and many more.
Fast forward to 2024 and we see Batt releasing her third studio album ‘Just My Luck’ alongside the launch of her label ‘I Feel Fine Records’. Recorded in rural Victoria surrounded by trees and horses with her longtime bandmates, this is the album BATTS vowed to make prior to entering motherhood.
