Fiver was birthed in 2012 as a medium for Simone Schmidt (The Highest Order & One Hundred Dollars) to write and record original material – and boy are we glad she did!

Solo album Lost The Plot is a dynamic beast, sometimes personal, and undoubtedly political. The nine songs engage the spirit and soul – introspective at times, others, outgoing and frenetic, even treading into madness.

Undertaker is an apt introduction. For once haunting can be used with real justification…opening with a weaving organ that sounds like it was drawn from the soundtrack of an Italian horror film, the song is a macabre masterwork. Its creeping pace and forboding tone show Schmidt in peak form as she calmly proclaims, “I’m the undertaker, I’m gonna hold you last.”
