Leah's Australian by birth and geography but by heart and her artistically she's very much located in 70s Britain and the folk rock scene that spurned Sandy Denny, John Martyn, Vashti Bunyan et al. Sonically she nods to that era but lyrically her storytelling is very much rooted in the now, with themes of gentrification and clinging to the dream of being a musician and the realities of working. I loved Leah's 2023 album 'The Music That I Make' and early listens are giving me that same album of the year quality.

Somewhere between Sandy Denny’s arresting clarity and Vashti Bunyan’s gentle depth sits the luminous voice of Australian folk diviner Leah Senior. While the style and instrumentation of ‘70s Brit folk are touchstones on Senior’s forthcoming album, Pt. Roadknight, her disarming lyrics are fresh and wholehearted, wrestling with modern concerns of gentrification and isolation while finding solace in the quiet beauty of the Victoria surfcoast town where she lives. Though this is her first album with a U.S. label (released jointly by SPINSTER and Australian label Third Eye Stimuli), Leah Senior has been a shining star of the Australian folk scene for the past decade, touring extensively and sharing international stages with the likes of Wilco, Iron & Wine, Simon Joyner, Jessica Pratt, and King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard. On Pt. Roadknight, her fifth studio album, Seniorexplores her introspective, nature-loving side while honing the singular baroque psych folk that has captivated listeners around the world.
