Signal Hill is the second studio album by Australian singer songwriter, Monique Brumby, which was released in October 2002. It was co-produced by Brumby with Paul McKercher, Stephen Moffatt and Simon Polanski.[1]
Following the success of her debut studio album Thylacine in 1997, Brumby began working on her second album, Signal Hill, but conflict with the record label meant they parted ways and Brumby set up her own label, Little Wind.[2]
"Silver Dollars" was released in November 2000 as the album's first single. This was followed by "As Sweet as You Are" in October 2002. "Driving Home" was released after the album appeared as its third single in March 2003. Brumby toured the east coast of Australia as a support act to Michelle Shocked in April 2003.[3]
Brumby described her album; "It was very hard to decide what songs to put together. I really thought these 12 songs worked well together as a body of work, and took me on a journey – I think I moved through a place of frustration and hurt and sadness to enlightenment and jubilation" (adding) "That frustration came in the form of pressure – to conform to the expectations of the mainstream music industry."[4]
