Her first venture into music was in the Poems, an art-punk trio with her then-husband Drew McDowall.
She then formed Strawberry Switchblade in 1981 with Jill Bryson. After signing with Warner they enjoyed chart success with their single "Since Yesterday" in 1984; however, later singles and an album did not sell as well as expected. This and internal problems led to an acrimonious split in 1986.
Next years McDowall was primarily a guest vocalist or "floating member" of several different alternative bands, particularly in the neofolk genre. She contributed backing or lead vocals for Coil, Current 93, Death in June, Felt, Alex Fergusson, Nurse with Wound, Ornamental, Psychic TV and Boyd Rice on recordings as well as singing or playing guitar for live appearances.
In 1993, she collaborated with Boyd Rice under the band name Spell, producing two singles and an album of 1960s-style pop, country and psychedelia covers for Mute.
At the same time, she formed a folk rock band called Sorrow with then-husband Robert Lee. Between 1993 and 2001, they released two albums and one EP through World Serpent Distribution and performed in Europe and the US. During this time, McDowall continued to record and perform with Current 93 and Coil, including the short-lived group Rosa Mundi.
