Dawn Is A Melody [2LP] Vinyl
Let yourself sink into the lush, cinematic world of Dawn Is A Melody, the breathtaking debut album from Tasmanian-born, Melbourne-based pianist and producer Finn Rees.
Pressed across two LPs, this is spiritual jazz with a modern glow – rich in emotion, full of color, and endlessly immersive.
Drawing inspiration from legends like Alice Coltrane and Herbie Hancock, Rees builds his own universe with sweeping arrangements, warm textures, and deeply felt performances. Tracks like the radiant opener “Looking Up” and the expansive “Lagoon” shimmer with hope and light, while “It's Behind Me Now” and “Crossing” showcase a cinematic soulfulness that hits deep. As the record moves toward its close, pieces like “Ablaze” and “As It Passes” become more introspective, led by tender piano and strings that quietly hold space for reflection.
Recorded live at Rolling Stock studio in Melbourne using vintage mic setups, the album radiates warmth and intimacy. A standout cast of local talent - including Allysha Joy, Audrey Powne, and Cheryl Durongpitikul - breathe life into Rees’ vision, creating a sound that feels both timeless and utterly fresh.
Dawn Is A Melody isn’t just a debut - it’s a statement. Soulful, spiritual, and saturated with beauty, this double LP is a must-have for deep listeners and crate diggers alike.
