Digging deeperwombat wombats back to school at Norwich Arts Centre on Friday 16 September 2011 showcasing a trio of stupendously talented vocalists whose individuality will take your breath away. New Yorker Sarabeth Tucek takes centre stage accompanied by her producer Luther (Noah & The Whale, Richmond Fontaine) Russell. This extract from a review of their gig at St Pancras Old Church, London, on 01 September is an idea of what to expect: Its the overtly empowering Sarabeth Tucek that unites religious adherents and atheists alike tonight, her ethereal vocals wafting over the congregation, filling this vast, ornate and exquisite space like oxygenated air flushing into a vacuum… Its quasi-sacred set closer, Get Well Soon however, that proves most rousing as it gushes subtly atop a crest of swelling crescendo. Kids are at this point carted off. Whether its emotionally too potent or merely several hours past conventional bedtimes remains a mystery, although rather more conclusive is the enlightenment provided by she in the figurative frontroom of He. (dotsanddashes.co.uk) Comparisons inevitably abound: Laura Marling, Hope (Mazzy Star) Sandoval, Cat Power, Liz (Cocteau Twins) Frazer, Kristin Hersh, Mimi (Low) Parker… Perhaps. But one things certain: Sarabeth Tuceks pure voice, emotive delivery and candid intimacy is electrifying. Its raw power. Its shredded nerves. Its extreme. Its perfect. Its heartbreaking. Its haunting. Its extraordinary. And its perfect for a church venue: check out this live footage from the Union Chapel, London, this May
Suffice to say, Tucek and Russells stripped-down electric and acoustic guitar performance will be stunning, life-affirming, unmissable. Were thrilled that Alloy Ark are joining us to unveil their new look, new sound, four-piece set up, as well as launching their download single, Blue. Having already enjoyed a sneak preview of several tracks, one of which you can hear here, were suitably over-excited! Expect meaty and delicate, quirky and cute, summery and B&W arthouse cinema brooding, with Danis characteristic enchanting English and French musings. Tonights gig will also be special because its an ultra-rare hometown gig for the peerless charmer Rory McVicar, who has recorded BBC Maida Vale sessions for Huw Stephens and Rob da Bank. Hes also appeared at numerous festivals, including EXIT in Serbia, Latitude, and at this years inaugural Playfest, where he was interviewed by BBC Introducing in Norfolk and played an exclusive live track, which you can see here
