We Are The Plague

For Fans Of - PJ Harvey, Nick Cave, Chelsea Wolfe, Mark Lanegan, Elliot Smith, Thurston Moore, Patti Smith. Acclaimed alternative alchemist's highly-anticipated debut LP. 'Striking, black-shrouded songwriting' (Clash). A bold soundtrack to the apocalypse. 'We Are The Plague' declares Suzie Stapleton over the anthemic, fuzzed-out bass that opens the acclaimed alternative alchemist's extraordinary debut album. It is a rallying cry, the defiant call of a generation sold down the river and acutely aware of its own imminent demise. The album centres around Stapleton's midnight vocal; raw, poetic lyrics; and expressive, unique guitar playing ranging from a light touch similar to Elliot Smith to effects-soaked riffs evoking Sonic Youth or Soundgarden. Backed by band feat members of The Stranglers and Jim Jones & The Righteous Mind, and mixed by Dan Cox (Thurston Moore/Laura Marling). 'Suzie has toured with Mick Harvey and Mark Lanegan - it won't be long before they're opening for her.' (Uber Rock) // 'Striking, black-shrouded songwriting' (Clash) // 'Suzie Stapleton is gonna be huge. You heard it here first.' (Louder Than War)
