A 12 track album recorded in 2009/2010 with Tom A Wright, in Newcastle, England.
Artwork was done by Rosie Hood, but the final draft was overlooked and the original pressing was made with the incorrect artwork, largely due to Connell's inexperience.
The album was made with instrumental contributions from Colin Nicholson (Black Market Tune) and Lucy Farrell, as well as Tom A Wright.

about
Uniquely Melbourne but recorded in the UK, Mandy has one of those real talents for songwriting and crafting a sound that you never forget once you've seen it.
All the pretty colours in my street
Cherry and Red, Cherry and Red
I wanted to paint you a picture,
They run together in my head
Cho:
Persimmon Gold, Morning Fresh green
Traffic Light red, Melbourne Sky grey
Washing Cloth Blue, Washing Cloth Blue
I wanted four little rooms
Washing cloth blue, I’d wear washing cloth blue
Two up and two down, with flowers around
The dank and the dark would be lost in your heart

Persimmon Gold, Morning Fresh green

Alysia Manceau elegantly weaves her psychedelic balladry into a timeless landscape. Haunting vocals soar across layers of instrumentation in nine confessional songs of discovery, redemption and love. Mandy Connell
