Leah Senior silences audiences with vivid lyricism and a voice that soars with a disarmingly honest Sandy Denny-like clarity.
Her unique style has attracted not only those in the folk world but the likes of many others including the infamous psych rockers King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard; her distinctive voice featuring as omnipresent narrator on numerous records as well as a collaboration with them re-writing and performing the soundtrack to cult-classic Suspiria in 2020.
Her new album The Music That I Make cycles through vulnerable meditations on what it means to create, and shows Leah Senior at her most intimate as she transports listeners to her sandstone shack in Anglesea where old world folk meets late night AM radio.
The record opens like journal pages set to wind, and we’re all in debt to the pint of pain that Senior leaves on the page and between the reels of tape… The sadness still soaks into the soul, but with Senior on the speakers, the light on the horizon somehow seems closer.

Across the album Leah Senior showcases her deep hearted, masterful songwriting with confessional lyrics and intimate vocals centre stage. It’s opener, also the album’s title track, could just as easily soundtrack a Saturday morning coffee at home as a late night melancholic moment; ‘Clearest View’ – her “cryptic hippie protest song” – showcases crystalline harmonies, while on ‘The Fig’ she recalls a friend who regretted giving her best years to pursuing a career in music.
Quietly revered as a master songwriter, Leah Senior effortlessly weaves together spring-time baroque pop playfulness with a fragile blend of bedroomfolk. Enjoy this moment of wisdom and lyrical wit through crisply picked songs, old world folk dipping into psychedelia.
