I see you And the tears un-shed In your eyes, just behind The words unsaid Close those eyes and dream Of better days Waiting for you Out there Close your eyes and dream Of better days Waiting for you Out there And I will Hold you as you sleep And I will Whisper promises To keep your Hope breathing

about

What is the Colour of Autumn? Like the 8th colour of a certain discworld, the Colour of Autumn is magical, undefined, and extremely volatile! Armed with only her incredible voice and faithful acoustic guitar, Autumn Dawn Leader presents an album of songs old and new, like you’ve never heard them before! Recorded between her front room, and Chris West’s bedroom in Australia, these tracks have circumnavigated the globe several times over before arriving in your ears.

The result is a rock opera that spans all points of the emotional compass. From mental health anthems, to time travelling love songs with spiders and crockery at the bottom of the ocean, you will be taken on a wild ride through space and time. Autumn’s powerful contralto voice and modest guitar work is supplemented by Chris West’s evocative production and driving - yet transcendent - percussion in this sumptuous canvass of sound. When you reach the end you will be treated to the first single Autumn ever recorded remixed especially for this album.

If you’re a long time fan of Autumn Dawn Leader’s music this is essential listening as you will hear your favourite songs in a completely different light. If you are new to the Autumnal catalogue this is the ultimate starting point!

This album wouldn’t have been possible without Chris West breaking everything imaginable in his search to make it sound decent, and without the drums and percussion supplied by Simon Fraser and our friends at www.africandrumming.com.au

Nostalgia [EP]
by Annika Jayne

Nostalgia brings a beautiful peace. Annika's songwriting is melancholic but comforting as with her singing, delicate and angelic. The Cello is heart melting and the vocal harmonies and guitar playing are enchanting. That's why I love this album. Angie Blue
