Australian artist Kelly Malone has lived abroad (Canada, UK, and Europe) for the past 5 years, writing, recording, and performing with a wide variety of different artists on a variety of different musical styles. In September this year she’s coming home with her stellar debut album to show for it.
With no formal musical instruction or training at age 19 Kelly moved to Melbourne from Cains to pursue a musical yearning and journey. On arrival in Melbourne Kelly set up the hugely popular Vineyard original music night in St Kilda which was a hub for so many great folk and acoustic acts in Melbourne from 2001 – 2005.
In 2005 Kelly relocated to Europe and after many shows throughout the continent and UK she based herself in Brighton southern England where she began collaborating with Phil Hartnoll (Orbital) and Nick Smith performing as Long Range.
With the desire to make her own record Kelly hooked up with Matt Robertson (producer and arranger for Björk, Prodigy, David Arnold) and Matt’s production partner Mike Reed - who together perform as Mood Bungalow
“We demoed at Matt's Studio in Park Royal in London and at my home in Harlesden in the evenings. Then we booked a residential studio in Oxfordshire. Recorded the album in two weeks. The whole record is put together with organic and analogue sounds, no digitalized sounds or tomfoolery. We had some fun with the Space Echo and Analogue synths and percussion tracks put together on almost anything but a drum kit.”
The final recorded works comprise Kelly’s debut album – ‘Earth & Stars’.
‘Earth & Stars’ is an uplifting and engaging document of one of Australia’s most talented new artists. It’s an album full raw, organic songs of stories of love and loss which are framed with ethereal layers of music and showcase her distinctive vocal and guitar technique
‘Earth & Stars’ was released September 5 2009 through Silent Partner Recordings. To support the release Kelly is spending most of the second half of 2009 in Australia touring and performing works off the album.
