Sarah Brown’s self titled debut is the result of her determination to produce an album liberally sprinkled with her own flavours, and seasoned with a mix of musicians and producers who inherently understand her song-writing. Eclectic, moving, uplifting and mature beyond her years, this is an album that is as expressive as it is enjoyable and it should become a staple in any music collection.

An enduring and rewarding friendship with management stablemates Murray and Rodney Fisher (goodshirt) has resulted in a unique production partnership for Sarah’s debut album. Renowned for achieving broad and experimental sounds, Rod and Murray locked themselves away with Sarah in their home studio and produced a collection of free-flowing tracks that should cement their place amongst New Zealand’s finest musical minds.

Sarah’s stunning lead vocals and guitar can be found on every track with backing vocals courtesy of her and Rod. Rod also played an array of instruments resulting in tracks of intimate depth and multi-dimensional artistry.

Murray took the production reins and was happy to lend his musicianship to the recording. Other guest musicians on the album include Michael Franklin-Browne on drums (Pluto) and Mike Hall (Pluto), Gareth Thomas (Goodshirt), Rio Hemopo (Trinity Roots), Mike Carpinter (Autozamm) and Vanessa McGowan on bass.
