Drawing from a background in visual art and a lifelong love of music, Susannah makes pop songs formed out of vocal experimentation, that explore different dimensions of understanding softness in relation to the human voice and manners of speech. Recent performances include Arkaoda, Berlin, Radiophrenia at CCA, Glasgow, and Cafe Oto, London. Her debut album ‘Time Together (Hues And Intensities)’ was described by Noel Gardner in The Quietus as “a seven-song serving of gossamer dub-pop experimentalism” and by Boomkat as “a memorable first impression[…]rooting or immersion in folk-pop allows Susannah to best mess with the form from the inside-out, locating something new and timelessly vital in archaic styles”. Since 2020 she has been playing live together with trumpet player Phil Cardwell, and recently with drummer Laurie Pitt.
