成员 Olivia Gavranich (Vocals/Lyrics) Ella Wisniewski (Saxophone) St. South is the project of Fremantle singer/songwriter, Olivia Gavranich. The name St. South is a nod to her childhood, having been raised in the small country town of Denmark, 5 hours South of Perth. It was here that Olivia received her informal musical education, immersed in the tunes of an eclectic mix of artists: from Elvis Costello to Dianna Ross, Johnny Cash to Billie Holiday, Nina Simone to the Waifs. This broad range of musical influences is reflected in her genre-bending approach to songwriting. Olivias distinctive vocals weave throughout layers of tightly-produced electronic beats, to create a sound that is at once original and instantly recognizable. In August 2012, St. South entered the Bon Iver Stems Project, and went on to win her category with her song, We Washed Texas. The track is a re-mix combination of three Bon Iver songs, along with completely new and original vocals that she wrote, recorded, mixed and mastered in her Fremantle home. St. South had her remix officially released on Bon Ivers exclusive Stems Project album, by record label Jagjaguar.

Her lyrics are powerful and self-assured, and the beat just kind of rolls along without a care. It’s definitely a tune you’ll have on repeat for a while." - Vinyl Me Please (Chicago, IL) "This track is a cornucopia of awesomeness. The cutting lyrics illustrate a declaration of one’s independence from the destructive holds of a relationship gone wrong as Gavranich’s delicately layered vocals sweep across electronic soundscapes." - Hopeless Thunder (NYC) https://www.facebook.com/saintsouth http://stsouth.bandcamp.com/ https://soundcloud.com/stsouth
