about
Lucie Thorne is a singer-songwriter born in Tasmania and living in Melbourne. As of 2017, she has released six albums under her own name as well as a duet album with Pieta Brown. Since around 2010 her performances have most often been solo or in duet with jazz drummer Hamish Stuart. She toured the collaboration with Pieta Brown in Australia and the USA between 2012 and 2014, and double bill with soul singer Jo-Jo Smith in 2017. 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.
