Bio

After 10 years writing and recording with multi-platinum New Zealand band Goldenhorse, singer / songwriter Kirsten Morrell has gone solo with 'Ultraviolet' -- featuring the singles "Friday Boy" and "Cherry Coloured Dreams".

Recorded in London lounges and Auckland studios, The Lab and York St, 'Ultraviolet' is an accomplished yet pleasingly unpredictable blend of melodies and beautiful production.

In a departure from her Goldenhorse days, Kirsten has largely dispensed with a band in the studio preferring the immediacy of working with multi-instrumentalist and producer Jol Mulhullond. Geoff Maddock, her Goldenhorse collaborator, is heard on a range of instruments throughout the recording. These three musicians have created something very special. The 12 songs range from synth-heavy electro-pop to brooding, chugging laments with Kirsten's singular voice tying the whole project together.

Musicians on the album include Producer; Jol Mulholland (Gasoline Cowboy / The Mots), Guitar & Bass Geoff Maddock (Goldenhorse), Daniel Beddingfield (Backing Vocals) and Jo Lonie (Supergroove) Bass. Kirsten Morrell, Jol Mulholland, Geoff Maddock (Keyboards).
