Description

"Horsnell's varied effort intrigues and delights
Melanie sounds at times like Sixpence None The Richer, but with some cool analogue fuzz gadgets and more varied arrangements. And she's quite soulfull, even amidst the quirkiness and fanfare that occupies half the album. Birds is the most adventurous track with a few key changes. On a few quirky moments, like I Just Want Some Love, Melanie bounces along to circus-y clarinet and tuba like Angie Hart down Kelly St. But the quiet and deeply personal songs, like the mellow Beautiful Excuse, are where she is most at home. This rainy-Sunday- afternoon-pop album is full of familiar melodies with simple words straight from someone's diary, supported (if not distracted) by ambitious Beatlesesque arrangements. Melanie sounds very familiar, in a good way. You know, when you can't quite figure out who it is, so you keep listening" RAVE MAGAZINE

Melanie has already garnered some local support for her debut album "The Adventures of" with Triple J playing some of her work, and having played alongside the likes of The Frames, Bernard Fanning, Josh Pyke, Bertie Blackman & Andy Clockwise,, Melanie’s real strength is in her charming live performances, often managing what few others can – making a crowded pub shut up and listen.
