“Mechanical Bride – aka 22-year-old Lauren Doss – returns with the Black Skeleton EP on Transgressive, three songs of quite exquisite spookiness. Given time, care and attention, Black Skeleton Sea locks into the brain like a virulent disease as Doss’ lovely voice floats over the minimal backing like a jazz ghost.” – Music Week

“This multi-instrumentalist specialises in experimental, dreamy electro-folk. She has supported kindred spirit Bat for Lashes on tour, has an EP under her belt and a new one on the way.

Signed to Transgressive Records – home to Foals and the Young Knives – Doss sings ethereally on the gospel-esque “Chapel” (from her first EP) and shines in her delicate rendition of Rhianna’s “Umbrella”. Stripping it down to its bare minimum with a sprinkling of glockenspiels and theramin, she reveals new, melancholy layers to last year’s hottest R&B single.” -- Independent

If Laura Marling and Lykke Li were broken ballerinas turning in a dusty music box, they’d sound something like Brighton’s Laura Doss. ..As she sings on ‘Poor Boy’, it’s all ‘oh so sadly sweet’– Time Out

Lauren Doss – the lady behind Mechanical Bride – has been far from resting on her lo-fi folk laurels. Childhood mates with Patrick Wolf and Ed Larrikin, she inhabits a worlds which prides itself on being highly original, imaginative and just a little bit of a nut-job. … gossamer swirls of sound and tender pixie-pop moments both trickle into a stream of gorgeous feather-light harmonies … commendably simplistic and as bell-ringingly kooky as a night making special cookies with fellow Brighton-based siren Bat For Lashes - NME
