Elizabeth Alker celebrates the glorious light, joy and mystery of high summer with a journey through new music from today’s most exciting genre-defying artists.
Elizabeth Alker returns with a selection of fresh music from genre-defying artists as we journey through landscapes of ambient and experimental sounds that this week reflect the glorious light, joy and mystery of high summer. Peter Chilvers, best known for his work with David Byrne and his 20 year collaboration with Brian Eno, sends our eyes up towards The Unbroken Sky, while Liverpool songsmith Lein Sangster invites us to run through the Summer Rain. And as no summer would be complete without a trip to the sea, Coco Francovilla takes us on a deep dive through the Mediterranean’s ancient Posidonia Oceanica meadows with her captivating track Ocean Womb.
