A radiophrenia commision. Ships by laps.
Thinking about how people are like ships. We carry heavy loads, we come and go, we have names, people can be each other’s ships and of course ships go under.
Sadder/weirder domain and less pop as our last record was.
Lamentations and anger.
A work that mixes the more traditional ‘song’ format with recordings of conversations and field recordings that delve into the collective and separate experiences of two friends and artists.
A celebration of the relationship and working methods of artists and friends Alicia Matthews and Cass Ezeji. Using a selection of archive and new recordings (including Whats App voice notes, past rehearsal sessions, new studio work and downtime at the baths) the women candidly illustrate a long-standing friendship and creative working bond. Together they explore shared and separate life experiences and journeys; using laughter, chatting and singing together as healing forces.
