Sun. Disappear I’m 53 years old and have been devouring good music for my whole life, from the womb…

It took me 3 seconds as a brand new listener to realise the importance of these songs. ❤️‍🔥

Thanks for the hope Suzie. 🖤

Dionysos Nyktelios A voice that shrinks the heart, with the atmosphere of an enfolding dark, wet mist, only tore apart by lonely guitar chords here and there, and deep bass lines that take you down to the abyss.

I love the tag "gothic blues" and I think it perfectly sums up the different influences encapsulated in this album. Is the sound of the dark side of any soul out there.

A beautiful, yet glooming experience.

Favorite track: Don't Look Up.

ahasverus-cornelius La voix de Suzie Stapleton est une plante carnivore captivante et vénéneuse qui vous retiendra dès lors que vous aurez posé vos pattes sur la première piste de cet album. Favorite track: September.

Sandy Olivia Brilliant, moving and powerful album Favorite track: Angel Speak.

seamusshaun Favourite right now, but the whole album is great Favorite track: Don't Look Up.

We Are The Plague

Released July 31, 2020

Signed 12" Vinyl Album with gatefold sleeve including full lyrics.

*********

WE ARE THE PLAGUE is the debut album from Suzie Stapleton. It is a rallying cry, a howl into the abyss, the defiant call of a generation sold down the river and acutely aware of its own imminent demise - a bold soundtrack to the apocalypse.

The album was recorded at OX4 Studios, produced by Stapleton and mixed by award-winning engineer Dan Cox (Thurston Moore, Laura Marling, Pete Doherty) at London’s Urchin Studios. Bassist Gavin Jay (Jim Jones Revue/Righteous Mind) and drummer Jim Macaulay (The Stranglers) provide a solid, seething backbone to Stapleton’s expressive guitar playing and midnight vocal traversing through alternative rock to gothic-blues through to alt-folk. Includes singles Thylacine and Blood On The Windscreen and nine previously unheard tracks including new arrangements and recordings of Negative Prophet and You Were There.
