ACTS OF LIGHT

Following excavations and explorations in intuition and physicality through sound which culminated in her 2021 EP Feral Hymns, Hilary Woods new record Acts of Light, is a disquiet personal offering to wilderness, loss, absence, mystery and love supreme.  

Awakening hidden forms that emerge from the shadows with each listen, speckled light moves slowly and expansively here through a deeply sonic, subterranean and sensory rite of passage where Woods’ moving compositions confide in us feeling to be received with the entire body. 

Live, Hilary will be joined by pioneering and visionary drummer and percussionist Gabriel Ferrandini, whose impulse to free the drums from their conventional confines creates states of confluence between rhythm, texture and harmony. She will also be joined by experimental musician Oliver Turvey on violin. A fugue comprised of nine slow hypnotic dirges, Acts of Light  will be released on Sacred Bones Records on the 3rd of November 2023.

Support on the night from Ajo Gonsenica.
