Leah Senior silences audiences with her other-worldly presence and unique lyricism. Her breakthrough album Pretty Faces twirls gently in its own form of psych-folk revival. The Melbourne-based folk artist creates fragile but effortlessly nimble melodies that demonstrate
a clarity of thought and studied discipline beyond her years. Her songs evoke the familiar and the peculiar, the poetic and the plain.
Pretty Faces sat proudly on the Flightless Records roster of 2017 and her distinctive voice also features on King Gizzards apocalyptic album Murder of The Universe, as the omnipresent female narrator.
The album Pretty Faces is an exploration of personal liberation acquired through loss and the breaking of expectations on oneself. The songs embody a sense of outsider freedom epitomised in the last track Loser “You’re a loser like me, pay the price for feeling freeâ€. A chance late night encounter with King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard saw Leah Senior joining their independent label Flightless to release her first album Summer’s On The
Ground.
Leah Senior has performed extensively throughout Australia playing at major festivals including Golden Plains, Queenscliff Music Festival, Bigsound, Waverock, and Fairgrounds. Her captivating live performances have seen her supporting international artists including
Calexico, Jessica Pratt, Moses Sumney, Julianna Barwick and more.
When playing live, Leah is joined by her sister and her partner, creating a tapestry of ethereal harmonies and jangley
60s guitar sounds. Leah is currently recording her third album and is set to release new music late 2018.
