About Prudence Rees-Lee

From the Berlin Conservatorium of Music, to the Ashrams of South India and UFO landing sites in the Mojave Desert, Prudence Rees-Lee's life to date has been an endless voyage seeking the points where music and earthly transcendence collide. Prudence cut her teeth studying at the Melbourne University music department, where amidst the classical canon she was drawn to the polar eras of early baroque and late 20th century chamber music. Following her studies she joined experimental pop group Scissors For Sparrow before focussing her attentions on the sleek electronica of Hammocks & Honey. After immersing herself in the fantastical world of early 70s British and American folk, new influences and sounds began to take hold. The result is a regal opus reminiscent of Bridget St John, Jane Birkin, or even a less hectic Comus. Emmanuelle is the first single from Prudence's debut album, Court Music From the Planet of Love, due out as a gatefold LP on Special Award Records in April 2013. Recorded with legendary Melbourne producer Simon Grounds and featuring a host of fellow musicians including Shags Chamberlain (Lost Animal, Pikelet), Laura Jean, Jacinta Masters (Useless Children, The Emergency) and Lehmann B. Smith (Kes Band), it's an album which places artist as conduit with stunning results.
