“In stunning moments of lucidity and joy, tempered with those of frustration and grief, this new play highlights where the comedy and tragedy of this illness overlap, and at times are indistinguishable, showing that even in dark moments love and compassion prevail.”

“"UUUU is a newly-formed underground supergroup featuring two members of legendary post-punk outfit Wire – Coil and Spiritualized keyboardist Thighpaulsandra, and Tomaga percussionist Valentina Magaletti. Collectively, they now form a free-wheeling sonic powerhouse, harnessing a wild and unpredictable sound in which expansive krautrock, psychedelic electronics and post-punk experimentation collide with expressive percussion and other more esoteric fare." Rewire”

She has been performing her own material since the age of fourteen, receiving television and radio recognition under previous guises and now establishing her own sound with this new project.

“It was BBC Introducing that outed busy Bristol producer Mercy Sotire as a solo artist in her own right. They were, as usual, on the button there - she brings a cool poise to her own take on R&B, with clever backing arrangements that nod just enough to the Bristolian postcode that they came from.”
