Naarm/Melbourne singer-songwriter Hannah Potter returns with her new single, Judith’s House, a characteristically sparse and quietly devastating meditation on connection, loss, and finding your way back to yourself. Set against a landscape of forests, fields, and shifting seasons, the song unfolds with an ethereal beauty that is eerie and haunting yet strangely inviting.
The song emerged after a turbulent period in Potter’s life, when she set off on a three-and-a-half-month journey across Europe. A pivotal stop was the home of Judith, a horse trainer living alone in the woods outside Utrecht. Deeply attuned to the natural world, Judith spoke of trees, flowers, and animals as if they were old friends, inspiring Potter to reflect on relationships, place, and belonging. She explains; “Most of my life I’ve felt very displaced, culturally and geographically, and for whatever reason I felt very much at home in those woods.”
Written in a single burst after a walk through those woods, Judith’s House captures the moment of emerging from stasis and remembering what matters: the people we love, the places that shape us, and the parts of ourselves that may feel lost but are never truly gone.
Potter began playing music at 13 after discovering the song Names from Cat Power’s ‘You Are Free’, a turning point that transformed her from passive listener to engaged creator. After years of honing her craft through open mic nights and support slots, she found her footing, eventually forming a band in 2024. In early 2026 she released her debut single Snow Day to critical acclaim.
Judith’s House was recorded live at The Rat Shack with Rob Muinos, co-mixed by Potter and Muinos, and mastered by Mikey Young.
