“One of the UK's most consistently interesting and creatively absorbing performers” (Line Of Best Fit) / “A female Scott Walker”

Thank you, Colin Stetson, for bringing British actress Keeley Forsyth (UK) to our attention. After a film and television career spanning many years, she made her stunning debut in 2020 with Debris. Her voice promptly shredded our soul. “A female Scott Walker!” someone insightful shouted. Comparisons to Nico, Nick Cave, Beth Gibbons (Portishead), David Sylvian, ANOHNI and Aldous Harding were legion.
Since then, she has collaborated with Colin Stetson, Teho Teardo and Yann Tiersen. With Ben Frost, she recently worked on the performance-installation Cold Air Rises. Forsyth is equally amazing live: “This is a complete, as rooted in contemporary dance as it is in a rock concert. It is as perfect a match of form and function in the realm of musical performance as something like David Byrne’s American Utopia on Broadway show” according to In Spite Magazine.
On her third album, The Hollow (released in 2024), she honed her baritone voice even further. The reviews that she received were overwhelmingly positive.
"Transfixing, beautifully bleak." (Uncut)
What a bloody phenomenal album, in a space all of its own." (The Quietus)
"Intimate and intense, operatic and guttural, Forsyth paints her world's rugged beauty in tones that could stop listeners dead." (Mojo)
