The Grand Magoozi is the pseudonym of singer-songwriter Susie Scurry and you’re about to get lost in her smoky vocal delivery and subtle wit the way one does when engrossed in the surreal atmosphere of a David Lynch film.
Drawing on formative influences as diverse as Appalachian string-band music and the canon of Roy Orbison, Scurry calls from a time of burnished musical purity. Infused with both dark space and languor, her songs also honour the likes of Patsy Cline, Karen Dalton and Billie Holiday.
The Grand Magoozi’s self-titled debut album is set to drop in early 2016 via new label Little Lake. Recorded live over three days, the album was produced by Melbourne recording luminary Nick Huggins (Two Bright Lakes/Little Lake) with a host of talented musicians.
