Background
Following a brief hiatus after her previous work, Attune, Lenka collaborated with producer Dave Jenkins Jr to create her sixth studio album Intraspectral, an indie-pop project that combines energetic, genre-blending sounds with introspective themes. She coined the title from "intra" and "spectral", describing it as "the rainbow within" to reflect the emotional diversity within oneself. Drawing from her acting background, Lenka embraced varied musical styles and character-driven performances. Balancing upbeat tracks like "Champion" with darker moments, the album aims to bring comfort and positivity while acknowledging life's challenges. Intraspectral was released on 17 November 2023, supported by a three-city tour in Australia.Intraspectral is a collaborative project between Lenka and producer Dave Jenkins Jr, recorded in Eora/Sydney throughout 2022 and 2023.
