Sealionwoman + Jury Service + Natura Morta

Sealionwoman, is vocalist Kitty Whitelaw and double bass player Tye McGivern. Together they craft a unique and defiantly uncategorisable sound. Whitelaw’s rich and beguiling vocal delivery and McGivern’s atmospheric, inventive approach to his instrument creates melancholy soundscapes, torch-song transgressions and rapturous drama.

In late 2018 Sealionwoman released their first album "Siren" under Antigen Records. This debut album explored the haunting myth of the selkie. Their latest work, "Nothing Will Grow In The Soil," shifts to a heavier sound and focuses on another ancient and mystical subject, the ancient Yew tree. This upcoming album, set to be released in September 2024 with State 51, promises to delve into the rich ancient lore surrounding the Yew tree, continuing Sealionwoman's tradition of blending folklore with deeply atmospheric music.

“Sealionwoman’s music flips folk music on its head, taking traditional Scottish music and moving it into a darker, more atmospheric direction… their debut LP Siren is a record quite unlike any you will hear this year. “

- THE QUIETUS

“Björk, Billie Holiday and The Anchoress come to mind while listening to Kitty Whitelaw’s exquisite vocals… It’s Mercury Prize bait, this – haunting, monolithic soundscapes…”
