Search - Shelleyan Orphan :: We Have Everything We Need

2008 album from the British Folk/Pop duo, their first new recordings in 17 years. They recorded the album at Riverside Studios in Bath with Steve Evans (Siouxsie, Robert Plant and the Proclaimers), while the strings and woodwind were 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). In We Have Everything We Need, Caroline Crawley and JemTayle s voices come together beautifully once more, but more the sound is more calculated, mature and patient. Space is left for the singers to explore, 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. 12 tracks. One Little Indian.
