Our Song of the Day comes from Norweigan artist Susanna who is joined by Swiss baroque harp player Giovanna Pessi, accordion player Ida Hidle and fiddle player & folk singer Tuva Syvertsen for a live performance of Joy Division’s Wilderness. It was recorded live at St. Edmund’s Church in Oslo this year.
The track featured on her album ‘Go Dig My Grave’ released earlier this year which we reviewed here. In his review, Phil describes Wilderness as “probably the most startling, as the instruments seem to take on a life of their own, and the song gradually dissolves into chaos, with the sounds of train engines and strange ancient machines competing for space with Susanna’s plaintive singing.”
Susanna has just been announced to play Øya Festival this August, which will be followed by more European tour dates in September, including a headline London show at Rich Mix on September 27th.
