Thrush Metal is the debut extended play (EP) by Australian singer-songwriter Stella Donnelly, self-released on 6 April 2017 digitally and on cassette.

Consisting of five acoustic demo tracks, the EP received critical acclaim and led to Donnelly's signing with Secretly Canadian who issued its first vinyl pressing.

[5] According to Shaad D'Souza of music publication Pitchfork, Thrush Metal "cast[s] a disdainful eye on every manner of shitty man, from the abusive ones, to the manipulative ones, to the ones who are just plain mean".

[12] In February 2018, Donnelly signed with Secretly Canadian,[14] and later that June, the label released the EP on vinyl for the first time, packaged with a bonus track entitled "Talking".

[15] Joseph Purchell of Secret Meeting said it was an "incredible starting point for Donnelly, and one which suggests she could be a vital voice moving forward through her ability to harness deep emotional turmoil into beautifully haunting music".
