Intro

Sarah Nixey made her show business entrance as one third of the darkly glamorous pop group Black Box Recorder. They have released four albums with Sarah in the severe, dreamy centre, singing scheming songs that are deadly serious about trivia, and deeply frivolous about important matters.

Sarah released her first solo album Sing, Memory in February 2007. The album is a collection of smart pop songs that tell heady, half-crazed stories about minds and bodies, flesh and spirit, memories and illusions, desperation and passion. She sings them with that tough, tender combination of explicit English detachment and cryptic European emotion that’s all her own.
