Retrieve (EP | 2026) by Airling - OUT NOW

Produced / Mixed by Tom Iansek

Recorded by Graham Ritchie and Tom Iansek

Mastered by Andrei Eremin


R e t r i e v e /rɪ’triːv/
To find and bring something precious back.
To retrieve what was lost.
To go forth and recover.

Returning with a collection of sophisticated dream-pop songs that pair crisp RnB production with crystalline vocals, Retrieve explores experiences of loss, recovery, infatuation and power. It was written and recorded with long time collaborators Tom Iansek (#1 Dads, Big Scary) and Graham Ritchie (Holy Holy, Scenes) - the same team as her debut EP Love Gracefully, and LP Hard to Sleep, Easy to Dream - at her home in Brisbane, 4000 Studios and BellBird Studio, Melbourne. Each moment played, spoken, sung or programmed by Graham, Tom and Hannah together. The first instalment of the EP, 'Mona Lisa', is a vibrant declaration of trust and leaps of faith.


Direct from Airling: "I’ve always had a fascination with the human body and the human condition… our fragility and astounding depth of resilience. My voice has evolved with me and my life. Connecting with people through music isn’t the same as helping the most vulnerable, but I find it weirdly similar. It’s a different energy but there’s this familiar warmth. And when writing the songs on Retrieve, I found myself in my favourite state... a song comes to me and I just play."


This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through Music Australia.

Welcome back Airling - 'Mona Lisa' Out Now.

Listen ‘Mona Lisa’

Pre-save ‘Retrieve’ EP

Airling, AKA Hannah Shepherd, pours her heart into life and opens it to the world through music. Following the release of her debut album, she sought a change and pivoted into nursing, another calling for her empathetic nature. This time away gave her the space to rediscover the joy of making music. Songs arrived without expectation or judgement, and with nothing external to pierce the magic of melody and rhythm, she was able to retrieve her inspiration.

"When you see the Mona Lisa, you get the feeling that she is looking at you no matter where you stand in the room. There’s always a huge crowd around her. This song is about how blurred our boundaries can get and how confusing power dynamics are. It’s about falling for love, and falling for the glitter and glamour of someone. In our world that is overloaded with distractions, it’s so precious to have someone’s unconditional attention and to be present for them in return."
