In the Round: Tristwch y Fenywod + Jennifer Walton

About

A sublime summer solstice double header with queer goth-folk trio **Tristwch y Fenywod** and the surreal Americana of **Jennifer Walton** who will perform a rare full band show. **Tristwch Y Fenywod** is a band of three queer women who play avant garde Gothic rock using folk, rock, and digital instruments, with lyrics sung entirely in the Welsh language (Cymraeg). Sapphic love and desire, existential darkness, political and environmental anguish/celebration, psychogeographic romance, pagan mysticism, imaginal explorations of Celtic history and myth, psychedelia, and myriad other variations of reverie are conjured through the music of Tristwch Y Fenywod. They were formed in 2022 in Leeds, which is where the band is primarily based. **Jennifer Walton** is a London-based musician whose debut album Daughters explores grief, memory and surreal Americana. She’s also known for her work witl Cryalot, Microplastics, Iceboy Violet, BABii, and remixes for Metronomy. The album featured on many end of year lists and received widespread critical acclaim from the likes of The Guardian, Pitchfork and The Quietus upon its release. For this special performance Jennifer expands her usual live show to a full band. Not to be missed. This show marks the conclusion of the ICA's June In the Round series, with artists performing live from the centre of the room in 360° spatial audio.
