Biography

Keeskea (case-kay-ah) is the “lofty and delicate, yet fiercely present and potent” (Laundry Echo) project of Adelaide artist Vanessa Marousopoulos.

With a unique gift for making sense of what’s tangled, Marousopoulos unwinds sensitive emotions to their threadbare state with their vintage Harmony Alden H45 Stratotone and whisper-close vocals, couching them in gentle electronic production, but leaving more than enough space for reflection and reconnection.

Their debut single ‘You Did’ gained airplay with triple j including on Home & Hosed, also impressing the likes of Majestic Casual, The Wild Honey Pie (US) and triple j Unearthed, who featured it in their podcast, with the station’s Music Director Dave Ruby Howe confessing himself “floored by the piercing delicacy” of the track. Equally stunned by its idiosyncratic beauty, indie label Hobbledehoy welcomed Keeskea to their tight-knit family.

Already building a revered reputation for these disarmingly unguarded performances, Keeskea has shared stages with Stella Donnelly, Jen Cloher, Julia Holter, Jen Buxton, Pool Shop, Jess Locke, Jarrow, Seagull, and performed at festivals WOMADelaide, Against The Grain Festival and Mountain Goat Vallery Crawl.
