Thayer Sarrano grew up in a monastery and then the swamp in southern, coastal Georgia. Classically trained as a child, awakened by Grunge in the 90s, with chanting forever in her subconscious, she had always written instrumental compositions and poetry.

With two previous releases to her name, debut album, the sparse and raw King was released in 2009 and follow up LP, Lift Your Eyes to the Hills, appeared three years later, her new album Shaky sees her forging her own path into a southern- psych-dreamland, bottling up ghosts and bringing them to life through her ethereal desert rock hymns.

Dovetailing the thick twang of the country with the airy, echoing, spacious feeling of an empty church, Sarrano has carved out a pocket in which her otherworldly music has room to breathe. This is music that envelops the listener and may transport you to another time or place. A magical place that is melancholic and haunting, yet bursting with heavenly light.

Listen to the stunning Crease below. Shaky is released on the 28th August.
