St. South is the project of Australian born 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. The music of St. South has its roots in guitar-driven folk melodies, dressed up with layers of tightly-produced electronic beats. Olivia's vocals are distinctive and warm, weaving throughout the layers to create a sound that is 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 Iver's exclusive Stems Project album, by record label 'Jagjaguar'. Hear her winning entry here: http://youtu.be/z8uiUmbJfjw

Slacks (Prod. Ali)
rating:  4/5
Olivia's voice works really well with the chriping rattle of this beat. It's an easy tune to get lost listening to.
