Spunk! and EMI are proud to present the new album from songwriter and singer Holly Throsby. The album, A Loud Call, follows on from 2006's ARIA-nominated Under the Town and Holly's acclaimed 2004 debut, On Night. A Loud Call was recorded in a brick house on a leafy street in Nashville, Tennessee, in the early weeks of last November by engineer and producer Mark Nevers (Lambchop, Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, Andrew Bird). Switching between her travelers guitar and a grand piano, Holly was accompanied by her long-time band - Bree van Reyk (drums, organ, accordion) and Jens Birchall (cello, bass, mandolin). The album also includes performances from a handful of very special guests including Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy (singing duet on ‘Would You?’) and members of Lambchop and The Silver Jews (Matt Swanson on bass, Tony Crow on synthesizer and William Tyler on electric guitar). Strings and horns were arranged and recorded in the Kangaroo Valley by the producer of Holly’s first two albums, Tony Dupé. Partly written on the road, partly written at home, the songs on A Loud Call find their inspiration in the tenuous gaps between hope and resignation, romance and indecision, nostalgia and rejuvenation. From the swelling guitar feedback and beds of vocal harmonies which engulf the opening track (‘Warm Jets’), to the odd-pop, bicycle wheel percussion of ‘Time it Takes' and the bright sparks of trumpets and pizzicato cellos on ‘A Heart Divided’, the album is richer and more full-blooded than its predecessors. But for all its diversity, A Loud Call is effortlessly cohesive: quotidian narratives, epigrams against heartbreak, and vivid, otherworldly fragments are anchored by Holly’s distinctive phrasing and lyrical concision. Holly’s first two albums were critically acclaimed in Australia and abroad. She was nominated for an ARIA for Best Female Artist for Under the Town, and since its release she has found herself on stage with all kinds of people, singing live duets with Andrew Bird, Sarah Blasko, New Buffalo and Oscar-winning songwriter Glen Hansard (The Frames). Holly appears on the new album by Canadian star and Spunk! label mate Hayden, and on the recent EP by Melbourne’s Mountains in the Sky. Along with the Shins and Devendra Banhart, she was invited to contribute a tshirt design for the Montreal-based Yellow Bird Project, which she did, to raise money for Amnesty International. She also wrote and illustrated two limited edition comic books, which act as companion pieces to Under the Town and last year's 6-track EP, One of You For Me.
What I Thought Of You It’s Only Need Here Is My Co-Pilot Hi, You Reckless Darling It’s Funny To See You Out Come Back To See Me Waiting For Me We Are Glowing When
On Night
We're good people but why don't we show it Old lover, you miss me Over the ocean I hope this finds you well Warm sun on my back The earth on its axis The violence when we met We're good people But why don’t we show it Dead birds on the stairwell Some ugly morning Fell from their nests No, don't tell your parents When we start sharing Each other's beds We're good people But why don't we show it We're good people But why don't we show it I want to raise dogs Dogs and money Stop threatening to leave town And I'll stop running We're good people But why don't we show it We're good people But why don't we show it Up with the birds She won't find out And he wouldn't know And I'm not jealous Not at all On the landing The chairs on the lawn Out the windows And through the doors I'm not jealous No, not at all We're up early We're up with the birds They don't mind us Not at all By the bedside And down on the floor He won't find out And she won't know We're not jealous No, not at all We just feel a little itching in our bones We're not jealous No, not at all We just feel a little itching in our bones We're not jealous No, not at all We're up early We're up with the birds We're up early We're up with the birds We're up early We're up with the birds We're up early We're up with the birds Things between People He usually brings the car around And parks it outside our house And he talks to me of loneliness And the feeling's all 'round So he takes out all these women But he doesn't feel a thing And he thinks there's something missing Or there's something wrong with him 'Cause he reels them in And he reels them out again All these old mistakes, they They catch us up The same old patterns form again Till every day, every day Feels the same Every day, feels the same And every day, feels the same I usually bring the car out front And she gathers up and finds her things While he can't see where his friends stop And his lovers begin He says "I cannot be around you Because god knows it hurts But I cannot be without you Because it's much, much worse" So he reels me in And he reels me out again All these old mistakes, they They catch us up The same old patterns form again Till every day, every day Feels the same And every day, feels the same And every day, feels the same And he reels me in And he reels me out again And I reel her in And I reel her out again Reel her in, reel her out again Till every day, feels the same And every day, feels the same Waiting all night for you to come home If I wait any longer the world could've ended And the moon it takes hours to come around Me and my watch, we're getting connected We play at who can stare the other one out I hear for the car to pull into the driveway And the moon it threatens to finish its rounds The ads on the TV are all ten-digit numbers And pieces of skin that aren't usually allowed And we've been moving around In these same walls again It couldn't be any longer And it's just a kind of death now And we've been moving around In these same walls again And it couldn't be any longer I'm back in here again If I wait any longer the world could've ended And the moon it takes hours to come around And me and my watch, we're getting connected We play at who can stare the other one out And we've been moving around In these same walls again It couldn't be any longer And it's just a kind of death now And we've been moving around In these same walls again And it couldn't be any longer I'm back in here again And we've been moving around But I'm back in here again And we've been moving around But I'm back in here again And we've been moving around But I'm back in here again And we've been moving around But I'm back in here again And we've been moving around But I'm back in here again But it's just a kind of death now It's just a kind of death now It's just a kind of death now It's just a kind of death Damn that new body Your old door's closed To your room, to your house, to your home And a new body keeps you warm I know what I said I'd feel But I don't Some nights are long Look for a sign in a window An ad in the paper A job waiting tables Tie on an apron for Change in my pocket Spend at the shops And study the docket I can be honest I can respond Hold my own And take on what comes And save it for later Be restrained Make up my mind And then want to change it Nights are long They creep up upon us Like a storm When nothing's in order These little thoughts They buzz like a train Find my page And turn them again and again Oh I guess I got lost I must've forgot it It's just been so hot I make all my choices On coins I can toss On coins for the washing To slide in the slots I can be honest I can be strong And wait for all those Letters to come Peel off the labels Check the dates Order my days and Then rearrange them Nights are long They creep up upon us Like a storm when Nothing's in order These little thoughts They buzz like a train Lock the doors and Wait for the sun to come up again The Morning Night's gone and morning's come We're rolling over, waking up And I swing, swing these days along Counting moments, missing home We follow love We think it makes us strong All these years, love How could we be Wrong, wrong, wrong How could we be Wrong, wrong, wrong Like you, this bird it flew It misses like I'm missing you And we drink, drink We throw them down We're better off We're better now We follow love We think it makes us strong And all these years, love How could we be Wrong, wrong, wrong How could we be Wrong, wrong, wrong We follow love We think it makes us Strong, strong, strong And all these years, love How could we be Wrong, wrong, wrong How could we be Wrong, wrong, wrong How could we be Wrong, wrong, wrong How could we be Wrong, wrong, wrong Don't be howling I get home after one And the dog looks drunk He should walk it off With that little strut, he does Yes, I dug up the dirt and Heard from little birds who'd gotten hurt That you were mean before me, love You could throw a stone But can't we all So we man our shops and Fix up where the kids have picked the locks And then the moon makes wolves of us And we battle lust But don't follow me now Don't be howling You're too much, you're too soon And you want me to come up to your room And I, well I want to too But I'm with him and you're with you And now what do we do now The world throws up a hundred little clues And they all seem as doomed as us And it cuts and cuts But don't follow me now Don't be howling And don't follow me now 'Cause the feelings turn And the turning hurts The wings of birds And the arms of girls You've gone and lost your shoes And now you curse me and I curse you You're gone in the woods And now you're hurting and I hurt too You've gone and got me good You know you got me good And you knew you would But don't follow me now Don't be howling And don't follow me now 'Cause the feelings turn And the turning hurts The wings of birds And the arms of girls Some days are long All these times behind us They, they go on by so fast We like this fine old house around us Look at how it lasts Just like us it lasts And I hold on to you 'Cause I get so frightened That I just can’t get things right And you slowly slip your hand from mine 'Cause you're forcing me to try Yeah you're forcing me to try And some days are long They make the nights seem ages away And I work so I'll be strong Not to hold you down but to let you go Not to hold you down but to let you go From time to time those letters arrive And I say "go if you want to go" And the phone might ring for me late at night And you say "He can call if he wants to call It's ok to call who you want to call" And some days are long They make the nights seem ages away And I work so I'll be strong Not to hold you down but to let you go Not to hold you down but to let you go I don't want to weigh you down baby I don't want us sinking like stones I don't want to be kicking myself when you're gone Some days are long And old age is ages away So I'll work while I'm still young Not to hold you down but to let you go Not to hold you down but to let you go As The Night Dies Babe, it's so hard to be honest As the crow lies Babe, I've been known to be careless I've made dogs cry And I've thrown logs on the fire And burnt like a fight in the night Is it too much for you Is it, well alright Babe, here's the sound of the morning As the night dies And soon there'll be coffeepots calling And the sunrise And no, no replies When you say "please", I say "be" you say "mine" Is it too much for you Is it, well alright Babe, is it too much for you Is it, well alright
Under the Town
Under the Town Without a sound My old hound sleeps in the ground Under the house Under the town An arrow is loud Shivered and stuck in the mouth And my heart's an apple Red, round and you shot it out

them well Come Visit I want you to come Across the coast and the sea between us Sills filled with sun And engines are on I have been gone Back at home where it's covered in snow And I know, I know That you're spoken for So I could get cut Like the heads of the deer on the wall They didn't run Fast enough Now their dear old eyes never shut They make lonely old hunters of us Covered in dust Dust to dust Dust to dust But I can be strong And I'll fight anybody for love But maybe you won't And we'll never know Maybe you won't Come visit at all Swing On On we go Skin and bone Underneath our winter coats Unlike them, many men I don't care we're going nowhere Oh swing on, oh swing on Oh swing on, swing on Swing on, let's not go home I'm slowing down And drinking up But only what fits in a

we could be anyone Or do anything I'm trying to trust you But I just don't know where you've been And both of us fighting now Oh honey, look at us Horses are running They're shooting on past like stars And Lord, could they drag us Or could they tear us apart Or are you the wicked one Are you the hoof in my heart And all this depends upon The shoulders and bends So much depends upon The wheels as they spin And we could be anyone Or do anything I'm trying to trust you But I just don't know where you've been Cold, cold feet between us I've got cold feet So baby, warm them up Baby, be my shoes and socks And let me trust you And so much depends upon The wheels as they spin We could be anyone Or do anything I'm trying to trust you But I just don't know where you've been What Becomes of Us It is early You are dead There are crows In our bed But I won't come undone We are done, we are done There is air still In my lungs I will get up and get on With the other mouths and tongues And the work there is to be done This is what becomes of us There are dim things in the pond There is dust under the rug And I don't ever know What's below, what's below But I am up I am above I have a, a new love And it's warm like a gun Or a knife that I fell on This is what becomes of us This is what becomes of us I was not ready You won't be back I was not ready And this is what becomes of us This is what becomes of us Only a Rake If only you'd stay In the water To wade It's only a rake In the garden I made It's only a rake A dead dirty spade It's enough to win me Or dig me a grave If only you'd wait With a bottle Where you lay It's only a day A tomorrow away It's only a day It's what these hours make It's enough to win me Or make everything change If only you'd play I have made up a game You give chase And a message And wait If only you'd play Hammer and nail It's enough to win me Or send me away

To Begin With Home is a word that I've never known Lodged, something caught in the back of my throat A word is a word but I've had no luck A stove of broken yolks, belly-up We're only a shell in the end And only an egg to begin with I know what I know and I've said and done Some things just for fun and some for love And outside the water is rough But warm enough We're only a sail in the end And only a breath to begin with If you don't throw a stone in nobody's pond You'll only grow up alone And so it is so, since I was young: A hole's for digging up And a bowl's for eating out of And just one boat is enough to hold us up We're only a sail in the end And only a breath to begin with

Being loved, being lost Being all that we've got And all we want It's our answer to the earth Seeing You Now One, two, three, four Seeing you now Out and about I feel we're so much older now How long has it been Since we were living In this old home In this old home I know you oh so well I have so much to tell you If I could say it all I would say it all But I've known peace as well I've put so much behind me We could make it up If you feel like coming home Seeing you now Out and about I feel were so much older now In the real world did you copy and paste too? I could do anything This city's glistening I wish I'd known that I wish I'd known But it didn't go so well I had so much to tell you But I kept it all in But I kept it all And I know all too well The years come back to find you They don't let you off They don't let you off And it's been oh so long I know love comes and goes But we could make it up If you feel like coming home Do you feel like coming home
Wild Seeds

Time To Myself There's no chains Like the ones you put on yourself When you try to be somebody else It only locks you in When you come home You'll find the key in the door Though I'm not there anymore I'll be back again So don't think I don't need anyone else I just need time to myself Time to myself now I need a little time I need a little time I need a little time I need a little When I've had time (I've had time) To be alone with my thoughts (alone with my thoughts) The ones I try to ignore (try to ignore) I find them surfacing I let go (I let go) I see clearly my mind (clearly my mind) I'm breathing just fine (breathing just fine) So much more to give The city sounds Are just no good for my health I just need time to myself Time to myself now I need a little time I need a little time I need a little time I need a little I wanna swim in the ocean deep Floating free I wanna walk in the wilderness Then meet you here When I return I need a little time I need a little time I need a little time I need a little time I need a little time I need a little time I need a little I'm An Island Looking out to the horizon Gonna keep my eyes Steady on the even line So many nights when I was broken Then you saw me coming through to the other side I'm an island, many seasons I am someone you can believe in I don't follow where the wind blows I'm on the ground Feet on the ground You and I, we're like each other 'Cause we both need freedom Like we need a home And there's nothing wrong With our desires If it's worth it Give up everything you own I'm an island, many seasons I am someone you can believe in I don't follow where the wind blows I'm on the ground Feet on the ground When my bones are in the ground I see you standing Looking down on me So steady on your feet When nothing in me makes a sound I hear you telling Your child about me And how I found my peace I'm an island, many seasons I am someone you can believe in I don't follow where the wind blows I'm on the ground Feet on the ground Feet on the ground More Women How could yo uthink that it wouldn't really matter Walk away and turn off the light You said you were lonely When we were together That you need more women Wind in hair And my bags are packed I'm not looking back When there's nothing left I'll go on (I'll go on, I'll go) (I'll go on, I'll go) I'll go on (I'll go on, I'll go) Without you A week ago you told me You don't have to worry You said you were true to me Told me I made love A good place to be But now you need more women Wind in hair And my bags are packed I'm not looking back When there's nothing there I'll go on (I'll go on, I'll go) (I'll go on, I'll go) I'll go on (I'll go on, I'll go) Without you I'll go on (I'll go on, I'll go) (I'll go on, I'll go) I'll go on (I'll go on, I'll

well, we don't mind We're listening to the radio Rolling down the windows We've already left our cares behind We're going where the sun shines There's no looking back That's what we're learning Nothing's gonna stop us now The wheels are turning We've got the world In the palm of our hands Driving along with The wind in our hair I believe in destiny One road at a time Just you and me We talk about The places that we wanna go Nowhere's too far When you have a restless heart Underneath a southern sky We forget about our real lives Remember who we really are Two dreamers in a small car There's no looking back That's what we're learning Nothing's gonna stop us now The wheels are turning We've got the world In the palm of our hands Driving along with The wind in our hair I believe in destiny One road at a time Just you and me There's no looking back That's what we're learning Nothing's gonna stop us now The wheels are turning We've got the world In the palm of our hands Driving along with The wind in our hair I believe in destiny One road at a time Just you and me Dear Nighttime Walking down the road and Watching as the sun goes down Heading to the place I go when I've got stuff on my mind No one's there, no one's around Just this land, just this house No sound, no fuss No people waiting up It's just us Dear nighttime It's been too long since I've felt my feet on the earth And I want to give myself over to This beautiful world No one's here, no one's around This wild land, this small house No sound, no fuss No people waiting up Oh moon, oh stars It's perfect where we are It's just us Dear nighttime My freedom, my freedom (Dear nighttime) Dear nighttime, dear nighttime (It's alright) It's alright now, it's alright now (My freedom) My freedom, my freedom (Dear nighttime) No sound, no fuss No people waiting up Oh moon, oh stars It's perfect where we are It's just us Dear nighttime My freedom, my freedom You've Got A Story We all have our complications Try to run from what we can't explain So turn your troubles intoinspiration I know you've got something to say You've got,you've got, you've got, you've got You've got a story You've got, you've got, you've got, you've got You've got a story to tell We all struggle with confrontation Life can throw heavy things your way Don't be ruled by your situation Turn your dark nights into day You've got,you've got, you've got, you've got You've got a story You've got, you've got, you've got, you've got You've got a story You've got,you've got, you've got, you've got You've got a story You've got, you've

Sinner (Neil Finn cover / Seeker Lover Keeper / They Will Have Their Way - The Songs Of Tim & Neil Finn LP) See it anyone, got my eyes, got my face Sing it everyone, got my nose, got my blood Conscience plays upon me now Safe until my luck runs out Cukoos call, pendulum swings I thought you knew everything Lift my hands make the cross Sinner, I have never learned Beginner, I cannot return Forever I must walk this earth Like some forgotten soldier These things I should keep to myself But I feel somehow strangely compelled Under moonlight I stood wild and naked I felt no shame, just my spirit awakened See it everything, got my eyes, got my face Fireball drop from the sky All my dreams have come to pass Where's my faith, is it lost Can't see it 'til you cast it off Sinner, there is no such thing Beginner, I have learned to sing Forever I must walk this earth Like some forgotten soldier Today I am still disconnected To the face that I saw in the clouds And the closest I get to contentment Is when all of the barriers come down See it anyone, got my eyes, got my face Sing it everyone, got my nose, got my blood These things I should keep to myself But I feel somehow strangely compelled And the closest I get to contentment Is when all of the barriers come down These things I should keep to myself But I feel somehow strangely compelled
Three Questions (Bonnie "Prince" Billy cover / One Of You For Me EP) Say I found a piece of rock And put it in my pocket And for the day that we are wed I put it in a locket Which is to hang around your neck As long as you see fit Tell me, oh my love Do you think that you would wear it And on the day that threatens The earth might open up The birds have stopped their singing And the insects have shut up And all that's left between us Is some alhamdulillah Would you split it with me, baby So that I wouldn't die And after all these things Is a question I must ask When everyone has called me out And said I am the worst And asked for voices on my side My love, would you sing first Would you say, she's okay She's better than the rest She's innocent in God's eyes And in mine, she is the best
