A London-based makeup artist and skin decorator whose clients include <a href="spotify:artist:5eerVxtb9lY9p6D7m89Bs7">Jenny Hval</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:0O9n1swkbCd1KqV2QrSVHl">Gazelle Twin</a> as well as Vogue Magazine and Google, Sharp performed with the chamber pop group the Bottomfeeders before striking out on her own in the late 2000s. On releases such as the 2013 single "S.L.A.G.," she honed a theatrical electro-pop sound and a look to match. To record Lone Taxidermist's debut album, Sharp collaborated with Phil Winter (also of Tuung and <a href="spotify:artist:6BiBUC9FgSRe0Dt00Yu2o5">Wrangler</a>), Hjordis Moon Badford, and Will Kwerk at producer Ben Edwards' Bodwin Moor studio. Preceded by the single "Knicker Elastic," the full-length Trifle appeared on <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Memetune%22">Memetune</a> in 2017. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi
