Described by Hot Press Magazine as, “a darker Tori Amos”, Cuthbert stirs up a dark, dramatic mix of piano-based sounds with underlying prog, jazz, and folk influences, and her deftly layered harmonies draw the listener into dizzying swirls of mood and reverie. Her debut album Obstacles has received excellent reviews worldwide but Lisa's strength undoubtedly lies in her captivating live performances, which have been praised by fans as "mesmerizing" and "magical".  

Arguably best known for her work with Anathema-related projects Antimatter and Ion, Lisa’s solo shows have enchanted audiences throughout Europe and the United Kingdom. A consummate performer, she tours frequently and has previously supported UK prog gods Marillion, Dutch chart topper Anneke van Giersbergen, David Eugene Edwards’ acclaimed alt-Americana band Wovenhand, and Kris Force’s dark neoclassical project Amber Asylum.

“The haunting 'Cherry Blossom', the bouncy 'My Material Girl' and the dramatic 'Storm Coming On' is the best quarter of an hour of music I've heard all year.” - DPRP.net

“Lisa’s lyrics and arrangements display an intelligence far beyond her years” - Everyone Deserves Music

“The greatest strength of the album is Lisa’s wonderful varied vocal range. She holds your attention through the delicate track ‘Second Leaving’ but can really belt out the lyrics during songs like ‘My Material Girl’.” - 2UIBestow
