Description: Captivating and spell-binding folk from Melbourne, Australia featuring graceful acoustic finger picking melted with resonant vocals and sparse yet evocative instrumentation. An honest and personal album about reconnecting with nature and the great beyond.

Awesome guitar lines, with subtle minimalist background arrangements. ***

great tune, those female harmonies add a lovely touch

Very Nick Drake-ish-Dark chord progression here...lovely.

All instruments were played by Mabel and Ivy including cello, violin, ukelele and glockenspiel. 

The song captures the wistfulness and melancholy of any kind of longing. 

The song didn't have a name for a long time and was just known as "the new song", until a small gig at Newport Bowls Club, where an elderly patron approached the girls after they had asked the audience to help them name the song.  He politely handed them a small folded piece of paper with the name "Sky Watching" written on it in perfect old-fashioned handwriting. 

Recorded at Head Gap Studio by Neil Thomason as well as by Nick Huggins and  Mabel Windred-Wornes.
Produced by Mabel Windred-Wornes and Nick Huggins in Point Lonsdale, VIC.
Mastered by Sam John at Precise Mastering, Scotland, UK.
