First Seed Ripening is the second studio album by Australian jazz band Elixir.

Katie says of the album, "Our aim was to make gentle, intimate music, and it was all about freedom and spontaneity.

[5] The Mercury; "like a samurai sword through silk….this enchanting, honest, intimate album can’t fail".

[7] Rave Magazine; "The album’s 14 songs have a seductive pull, helped along by a Nick Drake-level tranquility and, naturally, our heroine’s effortless vocal style".

[8] Sunday Herald Sun; "filled with enchantment…Noonan’s voice, bare and beautiful against husband Zac Hurren’s intimate soprano sax and Stephen Magnusson’s expert jazz guitar, shines like a midnight star".
