Genevieve Dawson is an artist from Scotland now based in south-east London.

Her debut album, Letters I Won’t Send, produced and recorded in a church, was released in 2020 and was featured on Tom Robinson’s BBC Introducing Mixtape, Jazz FM and Guy Garvey’s Finest Hour on BBC Radio 6 Music.

Expanding into a more electronic sound-world, her latest EP What’s Mine Is Yours, released May 26th, explores themes of interconnectedness - set against a backdrop of swelling synths, strings and her distinctive voice. For lovers of Feist, Sylvan Esso, and Fiona Apple.

She heads out on her debut UK Tour in partnership with 432 Presents this Autumn taking in Brighton, Bristol, London, Manchester, Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Letters I Won’t Send is out now via Hertha Records. Purchase it on Bandcamp

“I love it. I really, really love it. I can’t wait to hear more.” Guy Garvey, BBC Radio 6 Music

“Memorable and densely textured” - Gideon Coe, BBC Radio 6 Music

“Really beautiful music” Robert Elms, BBC Radio London

“Sounding this good on a debut single, should be, and quite possibly is, a crime against long-suffering musicians everywhere, not that we’re complaining.” For the Rabbits.

“[She] blends folk-roots with spicy infusions of off-kilter improvisation and ambitiously ambiguous harmony. Genevieve’s take is not unlike that of Hejira-era Joni Mitchell - her songwriting knows no upper bounds… see her and her band at any opportunity you get” Bittersweet Symphonies
