Description

Shelleyan Orphan – We Have Everything We Need

12 track CD album.

Shelleyan Orphan’s first new recordings in seventeen years: a loving collection entitled We Have Everything We Need. Recorded at Riverside Studios in Bath with Steve Evans (Siouxsie, Robert Plant, the Proclaimers), featuring strings and woodwind recorded in Budapest with the Hungarian National Radio Orchestra. The album blends a unique use of strings, woodwind and the unusual (in typical Shelleyan Orphan fashion, like the Hurdy Gurdy and Celeste) with the rhythms of Boris Williams (The Cure) and Charlie Jones (Goldfrapp, Robert Plant).

On We Have Everything We Need, Caroline and Jem’s voices come together beautifully once more, but the result is more calculated, mature and patient on this record. Space is left for the singers to explore; to reinvigorate their sound and revisit past melodies, harmonies and fantasies.  It’s a jubilant listen, timeless as always, fitting with the rest of Shelleyan Orphan’s canon.
