Court Music From The Planet Of Love is the debut album from Prudence Rees-Lee. A warm and enveloping album of great depth and beauty, touching on sounds from across the spectrum of popular and obscure music to create something best described as a psychedelic masterwork. Pulling a White Rabbit out of a hat, as it were.
Recorded with legendary Melbourne producer Simon Grounds (GOD, Venom P. Stinger) and featuring a host of fellow musicians including Shags Chamberlain (Lost Animal, Pikelet), Laura Jean, Jacinta Masters (Useless Children, Gold Tango) and Lehmann B. Smith (Kes Band), it's an album which places artist as conduit with stunning results.
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 focusing her attentions on the sleek electronica of Hammocks & Honey.
