Projected live, the Nico-esque Avy presents songs from the album ‘BirdTown’ her first in over 2 decades.

First releasing critically acclaimed music of dark glamour in the 1990s, Avy has worked and toured with Suede, David Baker of early Mercury Rev and Robin Guthrie of the legendary Cocteau Twins.

WAR AGAINST SLEEP
“Duncan Fleming is a genius of a songwriter walking a razor sharp tightrope between deranged humour and classic pop music. War Against Sleep is his ongoing battle against the absurd waking dream that passes for life, in which he plunders the hidden treasures of a thousand charity shop records, writing songs that tingle the spine, move the soul and lift the spirit.”

“Gloriously ridiculous stuff” The Wire
“Classic songwriting” Record Collector
“He performs complete wonders” The Big Issue
“Sexy psychedelia” NME
“War Against Sleep are the audio version of the programmes that used to scare me witless as a child” Rough Trade
