An underground chamber pop artist.
Marked by her distinctively tender vocals, acerbically playful lyrics and harp-propelled textural arrangements, DIY musician Quincey May Brown is a singular force. Raised in Northamptonshire and now based in Manchester, her songwriting has been praised for its depth and subtle humour. Her second album, “Careful, Pockets” was released in May 2026 on Other Shoe Records, a label funded by author and graphic novelist Alan Moore. Following the release of her debut album, Basic Surgeon, the new album expands on Quincey May Brown’s intoxicating exploration of both organic and non-organic sounds in unexpected ways. Quincey leans away from folk conventions, instead creating a world of strings, drones and woodwind, dancing to the beat of its own off-kilter drum. Careful, Pockets is a collection of stories on loss, human nature and childhood scrapes. “Distinctive, atmospheric and haunting in all the right ways.” – Roddy Hart, BBC Radio Scotland “Quincey May Brown’s performance shone with measured intelligence, witty one-liners and a captivating mix of harp and sax.” – Snack Magazine “A genuine one-off” - The Curve Ball
