In “30th Day,” Austel draws a line under a cycle of negativity. The London-based singer, producer, and songwriter lets the song unfold from hushed folk-pop into a soaring finale, capturing the moment when exhaustion turns into clarity.

Austel explains:

"30th Day" is about feeling tired of being drawn to bad things / people who hurt you. You know it’s a dead end, or a groundhog day of getting your hopes raised that this time it’ll be different, and you’re exhausted by the amount of space it’s taking up in your life.  While the song depicts quite a bleak situation, I think there’s power in naming what is causing you pain or holding you back. Once you see it for what it truly is, you can start to work out a way to overcome.
