ELAINE MITCHENER Solo Throat

“(…) this is the aural equivalent of gazing into a crystal-clear night sky.”

9/10
Debut solo album from the experimental vocalist and “movement artist”
Mitchener is a household name, if your household has a framed photo of Derek Bailey on the wall and you spend your evenings at London’s home of experimental music, Cafe Oto. Drawing on the work of poets such as Edward Kamau Brathwaite and Una Marson, these 12 new vocal compositions are as energising as being struck by lightning. The music is stark, dissonant and impossibly beautiful. If you’re open to hearing something fresh, then this is the aural equivalent of gazing into a crystal-clear night sky.
