Info
An evening of experimental folk and neo-soul from August Cooke, Limunga and Selût at SJQ, marking the release of August Cooke's new single On The Line.
Selût, aka CTZ, is a multidisciplinary creator working anonymously. As the performer and director behind the project Selût, they lead an independent 2D girl band to emerge from Turkey with an international reach. Selût is a poetic commentary where music, storytelling and visual art become one, with lyrical work that often carries strong commentary on social matters, love, hate and moments of life.
Limunga is a London-based singer-songwriter and composer blending folk, jazz, blues and neo-soul. Her music pairs hypnotic vocals with melancholic acoustic textures, often using the cello as a double bass to create a warm, soulful sound.
The cello was always an emotive voice for August Cooke that released something contained. Inspired by the romantic classical music of his teenage years, his songs are unsteady vessels that seek expressive freedom. His second EP On The Line is a fragmented set of songs forming a vision of sunlit melody, lilting fragility and churning descent. His first EP Like Rivers received acclaim, including from Gilles Peterson.
