Sea Elephant School Single was released by Fanny Lumsden & the Thrillseekers 2013.

It  features a grand sense of motion from the lively instrumentation (banjo, mandolin, double bass, piano accordion, harmonium, q-chord, Tamborine) and [delete], marching band-esque percussion and Fanny’s soaring vocals delivering her heartfelt lyrics.

Fanny wrote the track Sea Elephant School whilst sitting on the verandah on the family’s farm in the shadow of Mt Buffalo. Inspired by her Grandmothers stories of life dictated by a Mountain and growing up on King Island where the Sea Elephant School was a beacon for the community, Fanny produced a heartfelt track that was a direct interpretation of her surroundings.

The track was produced by Matt Fell of Love HZ studios and recorded in the most part in the lounge room of the bands terrace house in Surry Hills with an upturned couch and the giant teddy bear (Morris) for support. Mastered by William Bowden of King Willy Sound.

'Hello Bright Eyes' emerged from her summer days spent driving a tractor for the 2010 Harvest at Fanny's family farm. "its about those moments in the day where the sun is shining through the leaves of the trees making you squint a little and there are long shadows makin gyou look as tall as a house". Fanny and her band travelled to the Blue Mountains’ Springwood to record the single with Producer Ian Prichett (Angus &amp; Julia Stone and The Beautiful Girls).

SHOTGUN track 3 from Fanny Lumsden & the Thrillseekers new AUTUMN LAWN EP. 

Its a piece of advice from Fanny's grandma after her Uncle Ken Shot his toe off. This is not a joke. 

Shotgun

Once there was a little boy
he was really quite absurd
he was not partial to listening
but took in everything that he heard

The little boy took his gumboots
and filled them with cement
and beckoned beyond high and wonder
in a motionless hellbent

Chorus 1:
They said Hail all ye thrillseekers
you seekers short and stout
as you drink from cups
and you jump through hoops
and you whisper and you shout
hey!

V2
Oh and walking through the woods 
we saw a creature of the night
so we secured it with piano wire
preferring fighting over flight

Then we dug up all the skeletons
and the bones they came alive
and they tipped their hats in gratitude 
and said we'll see you by and by

Chorus 2:
They said Hail all ye thrillseekers
you seekers short and stout
as you drink from cups
and you jump through hoops
and you whisper and you shout
hey!
and the legs you grew to walk on
were never put to task
because your weakened spine
only toes the line
when your face is
beneath the mask

hey hey hey hey

Bridge
So we selected certain furniture
and hung it from the trees
and discussed the worth of foliage
as it floated on the breeze
then urgently one thursday
the notion came to pass
 you can let all you know be gone 
and never let it last

Chorus 2 x1
