On one level, Making Baby Float is the follow-up album to Norman Meehan and Bill Manhire's Buddhist Rain, but it is much more than this. Hannah Griffin is once again on vocals, but this time she shares equal billing with Norman and Bill as a primary author of the new work. As with Buddhist Rain (and Sun Moon Stars Rain before it), her contribution is pivotal to the tone, texture, and emotional weight of the recording, and she takes ownership of the compositions in a way that only the very best interpreters can.
But Making Baby Float is also a concert album, a single performance that captures the natural essence of the material, and the vital energy of a live musical event. More than that, it is a film. Keith Hill’s In Concert is a beautifully shot and edited 68-minute document of the concert, which includes tracks additional to those selected for the CD.
