About:
♣ The Cloud Appreciation Society is the poignant new album of acclaimed Sydney–born songbird Melanie Horsnell. Five years on from Melanie Horsnell’s celebrated album Complicated Sweetheart, this new offering is a coming–of–age, with heartbreaking songs of small town love and loss written in Candelo, her new home beneath black mountains.
♣ A departure from the Beatlesque pop flavour of previous albums, The Cloud Appreciation Society was recorded live and glows with a gentle acoustic stripped–back sound. Melanie Horsnell’s music has a simplicity and understated reverie akin to a Roy Orbison song. These are bittersweet songs of longing, separation and new beginnings woven together with a feathery, starry–eyed voice and a delicate but timeless presence, which has made Melanie Horsnell so adored on the scene.
♣ Melanie Horsnell’s music is loved in France, she was nominated for an APRA award in 2011, she’s played alongside Bernard Fanning, Sarah Blasko, Jason Mraz, Josh Pyke and Glen Hansard and The Frames and written songs with Wendy Matthews and Catherine Britt and for film and television. Melanie Horsnell broke out on the Sydney scene in 2000 and has been wowing audiences and listeners around the country and overseas ever since. In 2003 came her critically acclaimed debut album The Adventures of…, produced by none other than Garth Porter; and in 2008 Melanie followed up with another album which continued to impress the critics — Complicated Sweetheart — which hit high rotation in radio around Australia.
♣ The Cloud Appreciation Society is an intimate lullaby where the songwriting sparkles — from the gentle opener of Gershwin’s ‘Oh So Nice’; to the dark obsession of new passion in ‘Love you Madly’; to Melanie’s tender ‘If We Can’t Be Together’ with the aching lyrics ‘If we could only push on through another storm/do you think we’d find a beach somewhere to lay upon’. The songs take the listener on a very personal journey, from beneath shadows to dappled glades with the whispered love shanty of ‘So as the Sea’; to the wonderment of new birth ‘My Harmony, my Gypsy’ and finishing off with the glittering effortlessness of ‘My Heart Just Wants to Fall in Love’ which evokes a modern Patsy Kline. Recorded live at Down in the Dairy Studios by Paul Greene with Robyn Martin on vocals and Anna Martin on drums, The Cloud Appreciation Society is mixed by Ben Tolliday (Heath Cullen, Jackie Marshall) and mastered by Jonathan Burnside.
♣ Melanie Horsnell’s The Cloud Appreciation Society is an enchanting new album which will take you to a quiet place after a storm, where sorrowful songs soar and where clouds are counted. Don’t miss out on a chance of catching Melanie Horsnell’s magic live.
