noir dream pop

Catherine's work as a solo artist creates an evocative world which explores 60's film scores, jazz, classical, Latin and electronica.  She creates a unique hybrid of uplifting melancholy and cool martini sipping textures.

Most commonly described as the next potential Bond theme, Catherine's music is spacious, luminous and darkly intimate.

history

From her earliest days as bass guitarist with post punk group THE EARS, who were featured in Richard Lowenstein's iconic film 'DOGS IN SPACE', Catherine has been equally at home in the studio and onstage. 

Years of touring and recording with DECKCHAIRS OVERBOARD saw her regarded as one of Sydney's finest bass players, as well as a sought after vocalist.  She was the singing voice for the character Christine in the ABC series 'SWEET and SOUR'.

Dipping into Jazz and Brazilian ( MELODIOUS THUNK)  and Cuban Music   (MUSICA LINDA and LA FAMILIA), and working professionally for several years as a bellydancer in Sydney have given Catherine a exotic palette of sounds, harmonic modes, and beats to infuse her compositions with.

KISS HIM GOODBYE

LP

Catherine's second solo album.  Through the icy tundra of shattered relationships, to exquisite moments of intimacy. Kiss Him Goodbye is an exploration of the beauty and brutality which ignites at the pointy edge where human connection happens.

Film Score

In 2021 Catherine composed the scores for NY short film, FIRST DATE, and Sydney short film IINSPIRATION PLAINS.

DR HERNANDEX

Catherine performed as bass player, backing vocalist with Dr Hernandez from 2019-2021.  Their electro cumbia grooves were a regular hit around Melbourne live venues with a guarantee to have to whole room dancing. 

PERFECT STORM

Returning to Melbourne after a long exile in Sydney, Catherine released her first solo CD, Perfect Storm in 2018. It's a sumptuous, genre bending melange of darkly wrought tales of love and loss.  Reaching across the globe, to include world class musicians spanning the realms of classical, jazz and various Latin flavours, the album defines Catherine's sound: lush, cinematic, poetic, and effortlessly melodic. 

Life is elsewhere EP

Taken from the title of one of Milan Kundera's exquisite novels, Catherine's latest release features four tracks exploring the theme of wanderlust. As always the melancholy melodies are sweet while the lyrics are poignantly understated.
