Leah Senior

Leah Senior is an Australian folk musician.

Career Leah Senior grew up in Woodford, Victoria, and played classical piano and guitar. She released her first album Summer's on the Ground in 2015 on Flightless Records.

The album was likened to folk music from the 1960s and 70s, and early Laura Marling, and was built around acoustic guitar and strings. This was followed in 2017 by her album Pretty Faces, featuring a similar folk style, with a full band on the song Black Limousine.

During 2017, Senior joined Jesse Williams, Jacob Booty, and Fabian Hunter-Shaw to record an EP as Girlatones. The band recorded a debut album Fitting In Well, with Tam Matlakowski replacing Fabian Hunter-Shaw. This was followed by a second album Horn If You're Honky in 2020 that was described by Rhythms as "a bit more rock'n'roll than the Go-Betweens". It was released by Lost & Lonesome Recording Co. with a lenticular album cover created by Jamie Wdziekonski. Senior wrote the album on piano before working on the songs further with her band, made up of Luke Brennan, Tam Matlakowski, Jesse Williams, and her sister Andi Senior. The Passing Scene was recorded at her home in Preston,

In May 2023, Senior announced her next album The Music That I Make would be released in August on Poison City Records. She narrated "Dawn of Eternal Night", the bonus song of the album PetroDragonic Apocalypse by King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard released in June 2023.
