Description

Jessica Sligter indhyller ALICE i mørke, storladne kompositioner og sin klokkeklare vokal når hun spiller på dansk jord for første gang nogensinde. Koncerten finder sted med støtte fra PULS.

Jessica Sligter har for længst manifesteret sig som en af tidens vigtigste eksperimenterende stemmer og komponister i Norden. Med tråde til kunstnere som Robert Ashley, Anne Gillis og Scott Walker opererer Sligter i et mørkt, storladent og solidt instrumenteret klangrum. Blæsere, strygere, percussion og synthflader understøttes af hendes både kraftfulde og klokkeklare vokal, der væves ind og ud af de massive kompositioner, som konstant bevæger sig i spændingsfeltet mellem det dramatiske og det sårbare.

Sligters seneste album “A Sense of Growth” (Hubro, 2016) strøg direkte til toppen af The Wires liste over bedste albums i 2016 og fik ligeledes topanmeldelser i Uncut. Der er god grund til at glæde sig til efteråret, hvor hun er klar med “Polycrisis:yes!” (Butler & Butler, 2018) - et konceptalbum der i et tilsvarende mørkt, dystopisk klangunivers kritisk stiller sig overfor tidens politiske landskab og den braste europæiske drøm.

I forbindelse med udgivelsen turnerer Sligter i Japan, Mexico og resten af Europa inden hun rammer ALICE. Med sig har hun den anmelderroste amerikanske komponist og percussionist Sarah Hennies, der udover at akkompagnere Sligter på scenen medvirker på et lydværk i tourperioden, som man med garanti kan se frem til at høre når det udkommer i 2019. Jessica Sligter-koncerten finder sted med støtte fra Nordisk Kulturfonds PULS-pulje.

Sagt om Jessica Sligter:

“Sligter´s sinuous, torchlike songs shift from soft to harsh – not jarringly like the Pixies´ loud-quite template, but sneakily and softly. But it’s her voice, lyrics and the overall atmosphere that mark this as something special.”

Mojo Magazine (UK)

"This is songwriting and arrangement of rare invention" - The Wire



In English

The Dutch-Norwegian vocalist and composer Jessica Sligter received glowing reviews for her two previous albums. She is now ready to tour with her upcoming album “Polycrisis:yes!”(Butler & Butler, 2018) - a work that mixes crooner and experimental musics in a 'noir' conceptual space. Austere abstract electronics are juxtaposed with a dramatic expression reminiscent of operette. As such, a reflection of our times. The fabulous American percussionist and composer Sarah Hennies will join Sligter on stage, and also make and record a collaborative work during the tour period, to be released in 2019. The concert is supported by PULS.
