Rachael Wood - It's Not The End Of The World (2026) [Hi-Res]

After years of playing other people's music, I thought it was about time to finish some songs of my own. The early part of this year was spent squirrelling away in the studio, recording all 10 tracks with producer Colin Walker at The Orange Room.

The songs jump between bright indie riffs, surfy guitar lines, noisy bursts of energy, and quieter moments of reflection. They're rooted in the experience of feeling a bit lost, searching for purpose, and trying to understand yourself when things don't turn out the way you thought they would.

The title is a tongue-in-cheek take on the phrase, “It’s not the end of the world.” It can be comforting, irritating, or impossible to believe, depending on what you're going through. That tension between hope and frustration sits at the heart of the album.

Thank you to everyone who played a part in making this album. And a huge, huge thank you to Colin Walker for all the time, hard work, and support he put into this project—and for being a truly brilliant husband.
