Adventurous debut from godmother of feminist rock; a dark, atmospheric and intense take on traditional Irish folk that got me to learn a new genre, doom folk.
After a seven-year break from my all-time favourite artist, I feel positively spoiled with a brand new album and comprehensive collection of rarities, demos and other bits and bobs.
I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this concert, but Brittney Parks a.k.a. Sudan Archives delivered a fun, energised set of sexy swagger and violin shredding… and even some traditional Irish music.
Sometimes a last-minute decision does pay off! I had a fantastic time at this short but lovely concert that reinvented Radiohead’s music for a jazz quartet with strings.
It’s hard to know how to describe this baffling concert other than a slapdash mix of awkward and sublime. I enjoyed myself in the end, but this wildly uneven production was a very odd fit for such a prestigious venue.
