Baba Yaga's Hut Presents:
Hilary Woods + Petra Hermanova
£16 - Paper Dress Vintage - 6th June 2024
Working across song, sound and analogue film, Irish artist Hilary
Woods' evocative compositions cultivate practices that are in call
and response to each other. Her heavily processed sonic excavations
embedded in drone, field recordings, vocals, electronics, piano and
voice give way to the intimacy and tenderness of a personal and
Hilary’s third album Acts Of Light, a majestically moving
experimental record rooted in physicality and feeling, was released
on Sacred Bones Records in November 2023. Following recent sold
out shows in Dublin and Café Oto, Hilary returns to London to play a
one-off intimate show at Paper Dress Vintage on the 6th June 2024. She will be playing with full band, comprised of pioneering and
visionary drummer Gabriel Ferrandini, whose impulse to free the
drums from their conventional confines creates states of confluence
between rhythm, texture and harmony, and Oliver Turvey on violin,
whose modulating idiosyncratic lyricism explores the cavernous arid
mystery of Woods’compositional sound world.
“The stuff of Bosch paintings ..Utterly hypnotic...Stark and haunting
compositions that stand on the edge of a knife"- Bandcamp
“Brilliantly unsettling ..an album that escorts us through a wild, dusky
wilderness that’s never oppressive, always tender in its own way” –
