Reverend Kristin Michael Hayter鈥檚 mixtape

Verity Sharp shares a mixtape from Reverend Kristin Michael Hayter, the artist formerly known as Lingua Ignota, featuring Bach, bluegrass, gospel and Gesualdo.

Prepare to be saved! Verity Sharp shares a salvation-seeking mixtape from Reverend Kristin Michael Hayter.

A notoriously powerful performer, Hayter鈥檚 work has traversed sounds and genres - from baroque to black metal, classical to harsh noise, electronics to spiritual - but always with a core of emotional lyrics and compelling, sometimes disturbing, imagery. As an artist, she has been heavily influenced by religious themes, particularly Roman Catholic iconography and concepts of divine retribution.

From 2017 to 2023, Hayter performed under the name Lingua Ignota, a phrase coined by Hildegard von Bingen - one of her main influences. She retired that project earlier this year due to the painful nature of the associated work, and her new album is the first under her own name, which she says reflects her own personal evolution away from pain. This new work makes use of the aesthetics and language associated with the apocalypse as presented in the evangelical tradition as an analogy for personal healing. It's released under her own label Perpetual Flame Ministries, and Hayter says that on this record she reaches 鈥渘ew levels of unhinged, spiritually and sonically.鈥�

In her Late Junction mixtape, she weaves together the music that has impacted her sound and inspired her lyrics, featuring classical pieces from the likes of Bach and Gesualdo, as well as heavenly gospel and bluegrass, Bulgarian folk tunes and Tuareg guitar riffs. Expect reflections on heaven, challenges to Satan and a good few harpsichords.

Elsewhere in the show, Verity shares resonant clay from Bristol collective Copper Sounds, and a remastered classic by late jazz legend Pharaoh Sanders.
