SUZIE STAPLETON's voice commands a room. In an instant it spirals from a charcoal murmur to a thundering roar "like a 747 taking off." It wraps around words channeled from a primal source sometimes direct, and often disarmingly poetic.
"Like many of the best singers Stapleton has an unusual voice. Pervading all her singing is a huskiness that approaches Tom Waits territory, but beneath and supporting that is a supremely delicate and precise feel for the moment...like hearing Cat Power at her very best." - The AU Review
"Obladi Diablo" is Stapleton's second EP. "Obladi" from a certain Beatles song, "Diablo" being Spanish for devil - the title loosely means 'pop music is evil'.
"Suzie Stapleton doesn't fuck around. Obladi Diablo' has a Dirty Three and Nick Cave-like gritty Aussie folk quality to it; it breathes and broods and seethes and lives." - Milk Bar Mag
"Obladi Diablo" was released in Australia in October 2012 hot on the heels of Stapleton's first European tour that included appearances at France's Binic Folk Blues Festival (Ty Segall, Kid Congo & The Pink Monkey Birds), and London Folk Festival. Stapleton returns to Europe in July 2013 to celebrate it's European release through Beast Records (France) stopping off at Colours of Ostrava (Sigur Ros, Tomahawk, The XX, Devendra Banhart) in Czech Republic, a return to Binic Festival, Foes Festival in Spain and numerous club shows.
Following up 2009's "45 Revelations Per Minute", "Obladi Diablo" was recorded at Melbourne's Hothouse Studio with Craig Williamson (These Immortal Souls, Lydia Lunch) on drums, and Leif Van Den Dungen on bass, and cellist Gareth Skinner (Gotye, The Holy Sea, Wagons).
"The EP is an antidote to the insidious disease that is flaccid pop... There's a depth of expression and passion on Obladi Diablo you don't find in the ordinary record. Pop music... needs a serious prod from songwriters like Suzie Stapleton to remind it just what good music can sound like." - Beat Magazine
Stapleton has gained a following for her engaging performances, fierce guitar playing, and intelligent songwriting. She has performed and recorded with Australian rock & roll royalty including members of The Drones, Beasts of Bourbon, Tex, Don & Charlie, and The Powder Monkeys.
"One of the worlds most dynamic, authentic and gifted contemporary artists." - Toorak Times
"Murky and powerfully voiced ballads from a bluesy Melbourne songstress....She sounds like the devil convincing you to sell your soul." -- Tone Deaf
