Genevieve Dawson is an artist from Scotland now based in south-east London. Her debut album, Letters I Won’t Send, produced and recorded in a church, was released in 2020 and was featured on Tom Robinson’s BBC Introducing Mixtape, Jazz FM and Guy Garvey’s Finest Hour on BBC Radio 6 Music. Expanding into a more electronic sound-world, her upcoming EP due for release in 2023 explores themes of interconnectedness – set against a backdrop of swelling synths, strings and her distinctive voice. For lovers of Feist, Sylvan Esso, and Fiona Apple.
“I love it. I really, really love it. I can’t wait to hear more.” Guy Garvey, BBC Radio 6 Music
“Memorable and densely textured” – Gideon Coe, BBC Radio 6 Music
“Really beautiful music” Robert Elms, BBC Radio London
“Sounding this good on a debut single, should be, and quite possibly is, a crime against long-suffering musicians everywhere, not that we’re complaining.” For the Rabbits.
“[She] blends folk-roots with spicy infusions of off-kilter improvisation and ambitiously ambiguous harmony. Genevieve’s take is not unlike that of Hejira-era Joni Mitchell – her songwriting knows no upper bounds… see her and her band at any opportunity you get” Bittersweet Symphonies
