An underground experimental artist.
Keeley Forsyth is a composer, singer and actor. Built upon sparse arrangements, Forsyth’s music is centred around a singular, emotionally raw and magnetic vocal delivery, by turns devastating and uplifting. The debut album Debris was released in January 2020 via The Leaf Label, it’s an intimate document of personal change, an outpouring of candid, haunting lyrics detailing the seismic ruptures which take place behind closed doors. The critical response to Debris was unanimously positive, with The Sunday Times declaring it “one of the most remarkable [albums] in years” and The Guardian describing it as “a shivery descendent of Scott Walker’s Tilt, a more unsettling older sister of Aldous Harding’s Designer”. Debris was followed up with the Photograph EP in November 2020. Forsyth's second album Limbs was released on February 25 2022. In Spring 2024, she released her third studio album 'The Hollow'' on FatCat Records' 130701 imprint. In Spring 2025, she released the 6 track EP 'Hand To Mouth' , a collection of voice and piano tracks written with Matthew Bourne. Having trained as a dancer, Keeley's live shows are animated with a powerful physicality and a focus on the moment that feels close to performance art. Keeley continues to occasionally act for film, with 2023 finding her appearing in Jessica Hausner’s dark satire 'Club Zero' as well as a character part in Yorgos Lanthimos’s celebrated and multi-award-winning 'Poor Things'.
Keeley Forsyth creates sparse, emotionally raw music, blending elements of alternative, avant-folk, and chamber music, often released on The Leaf Label.
