Bubbling swamps, apricot rats and hypnotic blues

Verity Sharp presents new adventurous music, including an intoxicating ballad from A Bad Diana and Lamina’s mysterious pieces inspired by the lifeforms that swarm underground.

Verity Sharp presents new adventurous music, including an intoxicating ballad from A Bad Diana, the project of occasional Nurse With Wound member Diana Rogerson. Eerie atmospheres reminiscent of a post-industrial world meet with her whispered, shaky vocals on The Lights Are On But No-One's Home, 2021's captivating album which gets a repress this month. Elsewhere in the show, the limpid guitar of Argentinian legend Agustín Pereyra Lucena, who passed away in 2019, delights the soul with bossa nova and samba-infused compositions, plus singer-songwriter and activist Aziza Brahim gives voice to Sahrawi experiences in her forthcoming album Mawja. And if that wasn't enough, The Shadow Ring offer a song about an apricot rat, and there's mysterious music from Lamina, which takes inspiration from the lifeforms that swarm underground as well as the philosophical and scientific work of scholars Donna Haraway and Lynn Margulis.
