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
The Red Shoes is my equivalent to Fiona Ross' 'Sugardaddy'. It's a wish, a whim, a fantasy, a goal.
I was working n an office and quite lonely, so I wished for someone to rescue me and build me a heaven.
lyrics
Hey Little girl with your red shoes on, dancing all day to the company song
Oh, you know I'm gonna be right here, When you come home
You know I won't go far, You can depend on me.,
Hey little girl dancing all night, sweating to the band in the cool moonlight
Oh You know I'm gonna be right here, When you come home
Under the evening stars, You can depend on me.
I'll buy you a house with a porch, and a tree, with a swing
A garden with a breeze and a river that won't freeze
I'll buy you a brooch with a pin
And a dress with a skirt, I'll bring you treats,
I'll make you sweet deserts...

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
