About...
Suris are Lindsey and David Mackie. They met as students at the University of East Anglia at a gig where they were both playing – Lindsey fronting The Clynics, a Siouxsie/Blondie fusion and Dave playing guitar in punk band Capitalist Music.
After early interest from major Labels, Lindsey became pregnant. So began another stage in this couple’s approach to making music. Two children later, the Mackies remain self-sufficient, instinctive and passionately committed to the song. They finish off each other’s musical sentences, are multi- instrumentalists, arrangers and producers.

Bonehouse Reviews
‘Pertinax’ is a triumph of emotional depth and artistic persistence. It’s a rare fusion of intellect, spirit, and heart.
‘Pertinax’ occupies territory somewhere between art rock's intellectual ambitions and dream pop's emotional directness, filtered through a distinctly British sensibility that values understatement over bombast. The Mackies have created an album that is sophisticated, unsettling, and utterly their own.
It is elegant without being delicate, experimental without pretension, and emotionally honest without slipping into cliché. If persistence had a soundtrack, this would be it.
Rare Brew is proof that mastery and soul can coexist beautifully… moving effortlessly from intimate, stripped-back moments to more expansive and unconventional arrangements.
This anthology distils everything that makes the band extraordinary: their taste for shadowy folklore, their magnetic blend of art-rock and dream-pop shimmer, as well as their talent for weaving beauty and unease into something you feel in your bones. ‘Rare Brew’ is a reminder, delivered with dazzling, renewed force, that Suris have always been quietly, fiercely brilliant.
The whole thing is superb, in short. Easily one of the best, most refreshing albums of the year.
‘Bonehouse’ walks a definitive line between the unexpected and the deeply familiar, unravelling into a brilliant, carefully cultivated release that makes the most out of every single moment.
Bonehouse is one of those stunningly rare releases … keeps you compelled as it twists and turns through elements of jazz, folk, progressive rock and psych. With vocals that creep into your consciousness with the same artful finesse as Kate Bush, Tori Amos and Stevie Nicks atop a bed of genre-fluid instrumentals…
…the record feels so spiritual that it almost becomes metaphysical. Bonehouse is an incredible testament from Suris.
