Spunk! and EMI are proud to announce the forthcoming album from songwriter and singer Holly Throsby. The album, ‘A Loud Call’, follows on from 2006’s ‘Under The Town’ and Holly’s 2004 debut, ‘On Night’.
Recorded in Nashville with engineer and producer Mark Nevers [Lambchop, Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy], the album includes performances from a handful of very special guests including members of Lambchop, Palace and The Silver Jews. Holly’s long-time band members, Bree van Reyk [drums and many instruments] and Jens Birchall [cello, bass, mandolin], also feature prominently.
‘A Loud Call’ is as stunning as it is embracing – a warm romance of an album where bare folk meets with dreamy bright pop songs and lilting back-porch dirges. Pastoral and nautical imagery and succinct observations – from the everyday to the fantastic – are delivered with Holly’s distinctive phrasing and lyrical twists and turns.
The album features 11 songs including ‘One Of You For Me’, originally found on Holly’s 2007 EP of the same name, and the forthcoming single ‘A Heart Divided’, which will be available for download from iTunes come May 24. ‘A Loud Call’ will be released on July 12 through Spunk!/EMI.
