Tape gonk and Scottish tales

Verity Sharp with music from Blood Stereo, Sealionwoman and Chicagoan poet and singer Avery R Young.

Verity Sharp previews Supernormal, the experimental Oxfordshire festival that runs this coming weekend. Among the line-up of artists from the edgelands are Blood Stereo and their brand of β€˜tape gonk’ and β€˜epiglottal gymnastics’, and Sealionwoman, whose elemental vocals and electronics take us back to the Highland clearances.

Scottish history of more recent times shapes songwriter Karine Polwart’s latest album - a collection of beloved songs from 50 years of Scottish pop including Deacon Blue and Ivor Cutler. And Chicagoan poet/singer Avery R Young charts a funk-rocky course through troubled times with an album named after abolitionist Harriet Tubman.
