Julia-Sophie + Maria Uzor
Entry Requirements: 18+
London headline show of Electro-pop artist Julia-Sophie with support from Sink Ya Teeth's Maria Uzor
For Julia-Sophie, music is a point of endless return: it’s in her blood. After years of playing in rock band Little Fish and, more recently, dream pop collective Candy Says, supporting everyone from Debbie Harry to Idles and The Japanese House, Julia-Sophie has finally found her hullabaloo within the storm. Earning her place in the avant-pop sisterhood of FKA Twigs, Grimes, Half-Waif and Natasha Kahn, Julia- Sophie’s palette is a mix of the hot, liquid, cool and electric: she sings of desire and loss, control and release.
These are songs about finding truth from pain; her French heritage and songwriter roots incline her towards the philosophical, melodic and pensive. The songs from Julia-Sophie’s forthcoming EP ‘3’ (heart-broken), form partial translations of the depths we struggle to say, the struggles and blisses that rub against language. For all her spectral vocals, ethereal refrains, glimmering synths, and ricocheting beats, there’s something earthy and intimate here: a determinism and passion for process that’s all her own, in the click of a vintage drum-machine.
Support comes from Sink Ya Teeth's ex-Girl In a Thunderbolt MARIA UZOR
