Artist Info: Strata Florida

Strata Florida is the newest project of Louise Trehy, formerly one half of the 4AD duo Swallow. Debut album Made of Stars is only Trehy's second album in twenty years. Swallow's flame flickered bright but brief, and disillusion after the band’s break up caused Trehy to abandon music altogether.
