A gig held at The Cube on Wednesday 8th March. The event starts at 19:30.
Rachael Dadd & Will Samson come together for a one-off piano-laden performance
Rachael Dadd
“Rachael Dadd is one of the most talented, wise, prolific and important women of our times" Kate Stables of This Is The Kit On 14 October 2022 wildly creative free-form songwriter Rachael Dadd is to release her brand new studio album ‘Kaleidoscope’. Her hope is that when people listen to ‘Kaleidoscope' “they will feel held and find space to breathe, grieve and celebrate.” "The image of the sky appears many times on the album, representing boundless freedom from the struggles of being human", says Rachael. "Music, too, provides escapism and freedom, and I like that while both music and the sky can be boundless, they are also containers to preserve all the very best things. Here on ‘Kaleidoscope’ they are vessels for truth and love." Co-produced "intuitively, boldly, and playfully" by Rachael and Rob Pemberton (The Staves, Emily Barker, Maja Lena), ‘Kaleidoscope’ includes musical collaborators such as Maja Lena, Emma Gatrill, Alex Heane, Charlotte West, Alex Garden, and ‘Flux’ producer Marcus Hamblett (Villagers, James Holden, The Staves). ‘Kaleidoscope’, including a limited edition DINKED vinyl with a bonus EP of non-album tracks featuring This is the Kit, follows Rachael's critically acclaimed ‘Flux’ album.
Will Samson
Since the release of debut album ‘Balance’ (mastered by Nils Frahm) in 2012, Anglo-Indian artist Will Samson has steadily amassed a catalogue of haunting and immersive sounds that explore the spaces between ambient, electronic and folk music. Will Samson’s forthcoming album, ‘Active Imagination’, illustrates a striking new depth and expansiveness within his signature sound.
With maternal grandparents who were born in Chile & West Bengal (subsequently meeting in Kenya), it’s certainly true that Samson has often displayed a somewhat restless nature in both his artistic and personal life. Born in Oxford, he emigrated soon afterwards with his parents to Western Australia, where he lived for ten years before returning to the UK. A little over a decade later, he began shifting between Oxford and Berlin, then Brighton, Lisbon, Brussels and Bristol. It's clear to see why much of Samson's captivating work has often explored the nature of identity and belonging.
