Lucie Thorne

Lucie Thorne is a singer-songwriter raised in Melbourne and based in New South Wales. She has released three albums, the most recent of which 2009's Black Across The Field, was nominated for an Australian Music Prize. Her style is a frequently sparse, languid and evocative form of folk-rock. Thorne uses her songs to distill the poetic from the everyday, and each new song opens onto an unlikely world of stories and characters. It’s this breadth and depth of writing that makes her music feel a little like a favourite book: the moment you finish, you want to read it again from the beginning. And throughout these narratives there’s that voice – a voice that draws you in, and makes you lean closer. Thorne’s songs are compelling in their intimacy. As Bernard Zuel (SMH) writes, this is a voice of “languidness and urgency” that bristles with undeniable authenticity. Read more on Last.fm.
