Susan Marie "Suki" Ewers is an American musician, singer-songwriter photographer and filmmaker. She sang harmonies in Opal before moving on to play keyboards, rhythm guitar, and bass in Mazzy Star. She formed her own band, Anemone, in 1993 and began her solo musical career in 2008.
Early life
[edit]Suki Ewers was born in Seattle, Washington, but has spent much of her early life living in several countries including Germany, Taiwan, and Japan alongside her family. These experiences exposed her to a wide array of cultures and musical influences.[1] While little is known about her formal education, it appears that Suki embraced a life in music from a young age, gradually immersing herself in the underground music scene. Her brother, Tom Ewers, also shared a passion for music, and the two played in local Seattle bands during the early 1980s, like the Tears and Second Story.[1]
Career
[edit]After relocating from Seattle to Southern California, Suki Ewers came across a classified ad in L.A Weekly seeking a keyboard player for a band that included members of Rain Parade and the Dream Syndicate. Having been a fan of the latter, she responded to the ad without hesitation. The next day, she was contacted by bassist Kendra Smith, who invited her to join the neo-psychedelic project Opal, alongside guitarist David Roback.[1] With Opal, Suki sang backing vocals on the album Happy Nightmare Baby, and co-wrote the song "Strange Delight." She continued to work with the group even after Kendra Smith's departure.
In 1993, while still active in Mazzy Star, Suki Ewers launched her own band called Anemone, where she took on lead vocals and guitar. On August 19, 2008, she released her solo debut album, Kind of Hazy. The album features nine delicate, lo-fi tracks blending bittersweet pop with hazy melodies. Produced with Joe Kennedy, the record was well-received by fans of slowcore and dream pop. Filter magazine described her sound as "A female-fronted The Clientele with a slightly more American brand of melancholy."[1] On RateYourMusic, the album was described as lacking "the bubbling, narcotic rage of So Tonight That I Might See" and "the strange psychedelia of Opal's Happy Nightmare Baby," but ultimately concluded that "it sure is pretty." Ewers' voice was noted as "satisfyingly winsome," with songs that are "catchy but never particularly unforgettable," and instrumentation that is "dreamy, but never goes beyond the reverb quota needed for a nice sound."[2]
Aside from music, Suki is a gifted painter and visual artist. Her paintings often reflect the same subtle emotional resonance present in her music. She also practiced photography for many years, though she has shared little of this work publicly.[1]
