Ilkley Promoters, Village Pavilion, presents a double headline show with ‘the Merseyside Morricone’ Luce Mawdsley and Canadian singer songwriter L.T.Leif at Ilkley Moor Vaults on Wednesday 9th April.
Luce Mawdsley is an autistic non-binary composer and guitarist based in Liverpool with a practice rooted in progressive experimentation. Drawing from a range of poetic art forms, their work uses personal experience of neurodivergence, mental health disorders and queerness as a ligature from which to generate subversive explorations of gender, sexuality, place and identity formation. With rave reviews from Mojo and Uncut magazines Mawdsley’s most recent release on Pure O records, Northwest & Nebulous has been described as "A triumph of imagination – a wide-eyed stare at the skies, in love with sound and possibility." by The Skinny, and “Wordlessly fashions heady, droney atmospheres that could soundtrack a film where a man walks through a monochrome desert” by The Quietus
“Inventive and affecting baroque-jazz-folk from the Merseyside Morricone” - Uncut
L.T. Leif is a Canadian singer songwriter based out of Glasgow releasing music on Lost Map Records, Leif has been involved in many bands and projects, from experimental noise collaborations with the infamous Bill Wells to playing sold-out shows with the punk-hearted OK JAZZ, working with Scottish dreamboats Pictish Trail and Susan Bear on a collaborative psych-rock album (Lost Map Presents Weird Wave), recreating the music of Ivor Cutler alongside Emma Pollock (Glasgow Dreamers), drumming with slacker-rock bands (Hex Ray and Hungry Freaks), and singing in a witch choir (Hermitess).
Their delicate songs have been described as “beautifully contemplative” by BBC 6Music’s Steve Lamacq and “one of those special types of songwriters, the kind of artist that can stop a day in its tracks, pull it apart, bend it this way and that, and transport the listener somewhere else entirely.” by Tom Johnson of Gold Flake Paint music journal.
