Sun’s Signature is the current project from vocalist Elizabeth Fraser andpercussionist Damon Reece. Life and musical partners, their eponymousdebut EP will be released in 2022 through Partisan Records. Highlyevolved, yet simultaneously primal - it’s an utterly original, compellingand genre-defying collection of songs that has developed through anAlice in Wonderland journey through life and music.  Elizabeth needs no introduction. The unforgettable voice of the CocteauTwins and This Mortal Coil’s haunting, epic cover of “Song to the Siren,”she is internationally recognized for her vocal contributions to MassiveAttack’s trail-blazing ‘Mezzanine’ LP - most notably their biggest hit,“Teardrop”. She has revisited this material live, to devastating effect, onthe recent Mezzanine XXI world tour. She has further lent her voice to aneclectic range of projects including Jonsi’s (Sigur Ros) “Cannibal”, SamLee’s “The Moon Shines Bright”, and experimental electronic maestroOneohtrix Point Never’s “Tales From The Trash Stratum”.  Writing and recording together, Elizabeth and Damon have also providedthe soundtrack for Graham Duff’s TV miniseries The Nightmare World ofH.G. Wells.  Damon, the long-time drummer with political art-rock giants MassiveAttack, spent the ‘90s as a member of Spiritualized and Echo and theBunnymen. He has also recorded and performed with Baxter Dury,Goldfrapp, The Flies, Butch Vig’s 5 Billion in Diamonds, and evenvirtuoso violinist Nigel Kennedy. A highly creative drummer, Damon isalso a multi talented generator of all things musical and, furthermore,has taken charge of engineering duties for much of this EP.  These rich artistic adventures have all fed into the challenge of Sun’sSignature which has been gently gestating and fermenting in parallel.Damon admits that, “We had to go down many, many different avenuesto find what we were looking for.” Perfectionist by nature, the story ofSun’s Signature is the journey to find a harmonious artistic space inwhich to exist, given the backdrop of all the things you have been knownfor by so many, for so long. The labyrinth of preconceptions, historicalbaggage, the passing of time and changes in the culture, life and theworld generally - they can form a disorienting and mesmerizing barrierwhen you decide to embark on something new.  Pressed on black vinyl, housed inside a single sleeve jacket.
