Sally Seltmann - ‘Hey Daydreamer’ Album Biography When Sally Seltmann began writing for her album Hey Daydreamer, she knew she wanted to create a collection of songs that express the full spectrum of human emotion. Songs that tell stories, combined with luscious soundscapes that wrap right around your heart and soul, Sally has created an album that makes you feel like you could completely lose yourself to the music. From album opener ‘Hey Daydreamer’, a circus-like waltz on longing to return home, through to the tender closing track ‘States and Spaces’, each song has its own cinematic quality, making the album as a whole a thrilling and emotional journey. “A dark fairytale for grown ups,” is how Sally describes her song ‘I Will Not Wear Your Wedding Ring’, while ‘Billy’ tells the story of a woman lamenting the loss of her beloved man. In between there are moments such as ‘The Small Hotel’ with its hopeful mantra and gypsy-folk melodies, where Sally references the optimism and inner-strength that exists within the human psyche. Sally chose to record the majority of the album at home in her attic studio, working closely with her husband Darren Seltmann on co-production. “Darren has such a unique sensibility and vision,” Sally says. “I felt so honored that he wanted to make this album with me.” Together Sally and Darren created a wild orchestral palette, with Sally recording the SallySeltmann.com Arts-Crafts.ca piano parts on her lounge room piano, as well as contributing synth, organ, guitar, bass & percussion to the recordings. The album also features a huge cast of guest players: incredible percussion performances from Bree van Reyk, beautiful pedal steel guitar by Michel Rose, plus all manner of horns, harps, and strings. Sally Seltmann’s previous albums include the 2010 Australian Prize shortlisted album Heart That’s Pounding, and two critically acclaimed albums as New Buffalo (The Last Beautiful Day, and Somewhere, Anywhere). Sally is also a member of Seeker Lover Keeper and is well-known for having co-written Feist’s hit ‘1234’. Sally’s songs have been covered by several artists, including Bon Iver.

Sally Seltmann, the alternative pop singer and songwriter, wears a simple necklace. It's actually a replacement, bought for her by her husband, The Avalanches mainstay and now her co-producer Darren Seltmann. It replaces one that was passed down to Seltmann via her grandmother and mother, before she lost the piece of jewellery on a flight to Paris. "I told my mum that I'd lost the original, expecting that she'd be really mad at me," recalls Seltmann, "but she just said, 'Don't worry, you're the one that told me that objects don't really mean anything compared to the actual people we love."

Hey Daydreamer is Sally Seltmann’s second album under her own name, after releasing her ﬁrst two as New Buffalo. Since ditching the moniker, Seltmann has risen to be an intelligent and honest voice within the Australian musical landscape. While her quaint third album, Harmony To My Heartbeat, drew widespread approval, it was her inclusion in singer-songwriter supergroup Seeker Lover Keeper with Holly Throsby and Sarah Blasko that brought in the accolades. In a way, Hey Daydreamer borrows elements from both of the ladies with whom she shared the SLK project. There are hints of Blasko’s sprawling orchestral arrangements and Throsby’s vivid narratives throughout the record. That, combined with her own penchant for experimental instrumentation and harmonies, makes for her most rounded and skilled project yet. Seltmann’s unmatched attention to detail creates a fairytale world of acute resolution. Galloping, country-entangled percussion takes us travelling on Needle In The Hay, while Billy sounds as though it’s been plucked from the golden days of cinema.
