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 featured on King Gizzard's apocalyptic album
Murder of The Universe, as the omnipresent female narrator.

"Leah
Senior is an amazing folk singer, very, very talented, and nothing like
King Gizz's music at all. her songs equally terrifying, joyous, sad and
exciting. We get chills watching her perform" - King Gizzard and The
Lizard Wizard.

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 free”.

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's first album "Summer’s On The Ground"
reveals a haunting and intimate storyteller, Rolling Stone giving the
album four stars, saying “this is insular music, akin to eavesdropping
on someone else’s prettily conveyed thoughts”. The album was also
nominated for the Australian Music Prize as well as Best Folk and Roots
Album for the Age Victoria Music Awards..

A folk island in a sea of psychedelia has proven to be a good fit for Senior. She joined
the Flightless crew for the Gizzfest Tour 2017. Pretty Faces was
recorded and produced with Gizzard’s own Joey Walker and features
Michael Cavanagh on drums.

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 Senior is currently recording her third album and is set to release new music late 2018.
