Theia's highly anticipated debut album, Girl, In A Savage World, is coming this November! The haunting harmonies, angelic vocals, and poetic te reo lyricism from her other project, TE KAAHU, are still present, but with Theia—joined by Abraham Kunin (Homebrew)—she experiments with the production more, making for an enigmatic alt-pop record that maintains strong roots to Aotearoa. - Flying Out
Girl, In A Savage World is the stunning debut album by one of Aotearoa’s most gifted songwriters, the enigmatic Theia. Those who have followed Christchurch-born, LA-based Theia’s musical journey over the past five years, including the success of her prize-winning alt-folk project TE KAAHU, will already know the beauty of her voice and the strength of her songwriting. Girl, In A Savage World is a natural progression, in which she fearlessly treads uncharted ground, while imparting poignant messages. Theia is a fierce proponent for the revitalisation of Māori culture and language and is celebrated for weaving her native tongue into her politically charged anthems.
The songs on Girl, In A Savage World blend Theia's ethereal vocals and haunting harmonies with traditional Māori instrumentation and contemporary soundscapes to create a unique sound that defy categorisation. The album also features a collaboration with American avant-folk luminary Jolie Holland. ‘The record has been a long time coming, but I really wanted to take my time with these songs. I’ve pored over every lyric, every melody, and every harmony’, says Theia, who co-produced the record with Abraham Kunin (TE KAAHU, Home Brew).
Theia will be touring Girl, In A Savage World in New Zealand in early 2026. Girl, In A Savage World is an epic body of work from one of Aotearoa’s most gifted songwriters.
