"Wow! Thank you for showing me this music. It's so right up my street. The synth on the verse reminds me of me - on a good day of course. Drumming and singing are f***king excellent. What can I say?"

GOLDEN RABBIT
The self taught musician lives by the Japanese phrase -"wasi-sabi" or, "perfection in imperfection", finding alternative recording techniques to create beds for her songs. Writing first on guitar, she then adds analogue synths, ukulele and various noise-makers she finds lying around to create very british sounding, crunchy recordings on vintage kit.
The vintage lover is influenced by the strength, musicality & strong femininity of Tori Amos & the depth & emotional narrative of Radiohead.
