Joanne Robertson is a musician, painter and poet. Written between painting sessions and also whilst raising a child, Blurrr is a record of loose and playful intuition. Robertson’s vocals and guitar drift, murmur and whisper across the record; fostering a deep intimacy as unknown emotions rise up from the well. Robertson’s intuitive approach to music making co-exists alongside her improvisatory and collaborative nature.
She has collaborated regularly with artists such as Elias Rønnenfelt on Heavy Glory, Dean Blunt on Backstage Raver and Black Metal, and Sidsel Meineche Hansen on Alien Baby. In Blurrr Robertson turns to previous collaborator and friend: cellist, composer and producer Oliver Coates.
Jeanne River (Jeanne Hill) sits at the intersection of folk, grunge, and alt-rock, filtered through an experimental lens and analogue sensibility. Through extended vocal techniques, improvisation, noise, and texture, Jeanne explores dynamic extremes—from near-silence to full intensity—and the expressive space between melody and noise.
A Brooklyn-based musician, electroacoustic composer, vocalist, and audio engineer, Jeanne’s vocal approach prioritizes rawness, emotional immediacy, and dynamic range while her production is intentionally dry and minimally treated, allowing breath, grit, imperfection, and transient detail to remain present. Instability and “mistakes” are treated as expressive material rather than flaws.
Her EP, ASS expands into multimedia performance through the development of custom instruments designed for live shows. Jeanne is working to build a percussive sculpture—an effects-based, hanging instrument incorporating cymbals, chains, glass, bows, brushes, and found objects—used to perform texture and resonance through physical gesture. In parallel, she is developing a second (programmed) instrument that allows her to sing sustained vocal drones and immediately capture, transform, and play them live on a bowed stringed instrument. Together, these instruments extend her voice into a physical system, blurring the line between singer, instrumentalist, and sound source while making the process of sound creation visible in performance.
