Mardi Lumsden is an alt-folk singer–songwriter from Brisbane, Australia. Mardi Lumsden & the Rising Seas recorded their long-awaited second EP with producer Magoo at his Applewood studio.

The Brisbane 5-piece released a cassingle and the EP, called Wherever you go, there you are, in 2010, alongside the group’s new video clip, filmed by India-based cinematographer Mark Lapwood.

The EP’s closing track, Classified (WVTM), won the 2010 Q Song award in the Folk/Ballad section and was a finalist for the 2010 Song of the Year.

Wherever you go, there you are is receiving rave reviews from all over the country.

“Sparkling alt-folk gems.” The Age EG (Rohan Trollope 13/8/2010)

"A bewitching collection of taut alt-folk anthems." The Courier Mail (Matt Connors 2-3/10/2010)

“Mardi Lumsden & the Rising Seas have delivered one of our favourite titles of the year: Wherever you go, there you are. The EP is mighty fine too, reminding Howzat! of Aimee Mann, which is a beautiful thing.” Impress (Jeff Jenkins 11/8/2010)

The Rising Seas comprise Andrew Pennay (banjo, banjo-mandolin, piano, melodica, and backing vocals), David Callanan (lead and slide guitar, glockenspiel, and mandolin), Jane McEniery (double bass and bass), and Joachim Alfheim (drums).

The use of AutoTune will be divisive, but I reckon it's great to hear a songwriter experimenting and trying something different.

Really cool to hear some interesting vocal experimentation on this. And who can resist those twinkling bells?

Nice little pop folk track you've got here! Lovely attention to detail in this track. Is this a Brady Bunch Movie quote?

This is the music I have been waiting for which confidently expands and merges folk and dream-pop into a much nicer place ! Been listening to this ...
