Mary Lorson and the Soubrettes are fronted, not surprisingly, by Mary Lorson (vocals, guitar, keyboards, percussion), who began her career twenty years ago as the lead singer of the noisepop band Madder Rose. Lorson has since steered the jazzy artrock group, Saint Low, scored several films with Billy Cot, and collaborated on numerous dramatic and musical projects. For her latest record, Lorson has dressed her rhythmic guitar and piano-based compositions with subtle banjo and standup bass suppor.
