Siobhan de Maré

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Siobhan de Maré is a British singer, mostly known from lending her voice to the album Formica Blues by the UK band Mono in 1997. In 2000, she joined Robin Guthrie (formerly of Cocteau Twins) to form Violet Indiana, which varies from shimmery wall of sound style with similarities to dreampop, to sparse single-guitar songs with less effects. [1] Siobhan has a sensual, ethereal voice, and she is the fifth child of The Shadows drummer Tony Meehan.
