about
Hailed by New Zealand's National Radio as the pioneer of a new sound, Jordans music has been variously described as "celtic industrial", "folk noir" and "Antipodean Steampunk" yet defies any cut and dried description. Jordan combines pioneer-era industrial found sound, with folktronic loops and etherial vocal melodies to tell the extraordinary tales of ordinary people in a time where life was being turned upside down by the invenstion of new machines.

Jordan has been nominated for New Zealand Music Awards, recieved several Arts Council grants, scholarships and comissions, and released five CDs (two albums under the moniker "Dr Kevorkian & the Suicide Machine"). Jordan now lives in London and Hamburg, where she performs regularly both live, and online. International Reviews: "simply stunning. A thoroughly unique work of art from start to finish. Whether by hook or crook, you MUST own this album. RATING - 5 / 5" Channel 4 (UK) "I'd be loath to categorize music this original. PJ Harvey springs to mind, but the style is 100% Jordan's.
