Described by \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003ePitchfork\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e as “arid and beautiful”, by \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eUncut\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e as \"astonishing\" and \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Sunday Times\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e as \"one of the most remarkable in years”, Keeley's debut LP '\u003cem\u003eDebris\u003c\/em\u003e' (2020) and follow-up '\u003cem\u003eLimbs\u003c\/em\u003e' (2022) drew unanimous critical praise, prompting comparisons with Nico, Beth Gibbons, Aldous Harding, Nick Cave, Anohni and even Scott Walker. It's often stated that no one else is making music quite like this.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bleak and foreboding landscape surrounding Keeley's North Yorkshire home seems to inhabit her third LP, '\u003cem\u003eThe Hollow\u003c\/em\u003e'.  The moors, visible from her studio window, impact upon a music that feels made of these places: windswept, rain-soaked and blinking through the low-lit landscape. The album's title derives from discovering a long-abandoned mining shaft whilst out walking - the past lurking within and haunting the present we now occupy. A connection to time that places us within it, facing what is gone and what may come. But also, perhaps that time has no concern as to whether we're here or not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeeley's unique elemental voice again sits centrally within this world-building. Her cathartic reflections are exorcisms in song. We hear an artist making sense of her life, willing to expose vulnerability without ever appearing weak. Working again with producer \u003cstrong\u003eRoss Downes\u003c\/strong\u003e, the LP features \u003cstrong\u003eMatthew Bourne\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eColin Stetson\u003c\/strong\u003e, Forsyth sought to expand both her voice and music. Taking aspects of sacred music, minimalist post-classical, dark ambient, film and theatre soundtracks, she layers her vocals into chamber choirs, applies pitch shifts and other digital processing, moves from clear articulate intention to mumbled numb utterances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComposer \u003cstrong\u003eMihály Vig\u003c\/strong\u003e's score to \u003cstrong\u003eBela Tarr\u003c\/strong\u003e’s film '\u003cem\u003eThe Turin Horse\u003c\/em\u003e' is reimagined as a pressurised outpouring, recasting the everyday within a mythical light of survival and hope.  On ‘\u003cem\u003eA Shift\u003c\/em\u003e’, Mal Finch's protest song ‘\u003cem\u003eWe Are Women, We Are Strong\u003c\/em\u003e‘, originally sung by wives and daughters in support of the '80s miner’s strikes, is recontextualised in solidarity for an experience of creative labour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sought-after collaborator, Keeley is currently working towards new projects with \u003cstrong\u003eBen Frost\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eTeho Teardo\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eMatthew Bourne\u003c\/strong\u003e.
