“Pasta” by Angie McMahon appears on 2 radio countdowns from 2 stations between 2019 and 2020. It was first released in 2019 on the EP A Couple of Songs. Its best result is #32 on the WBER Listener Countdown 2020. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #207 alternative song of 2020.
"Pasta" is Angie McMahon's hymn to running on empty, a song about feeling sluggish and worn down to nothing, and she wrote every word and note of it herself. The Australian singer put it out in March 2019, the fourth single taken from her debut album, Salt, and it's on the A Couple of Songs EP too. Triple J gave it its first spin and called it another honest, insightful rock number.
Ben McNamara directed the video, which catches that same mood of putting things off and then finally letting go. The song had legs: it made the Song of the Year shortlist at the 2020 APRA Music Awards, and in 2023 it went gold in Australia.
