Frazey Ford

Tickets on sale Thursday 17th April at 11:00.

On her acclaimed third album ​UkinBtheSun​, Vancouver-based singer/songwriter Frazey Ford inhabits an entire world of shapeshifting rhythm, elevating every beat and groove with the subtle magnetism of her mesmerizing voice. With its graceful collision of soul and psychedelia and sometimes ’70s funk, it’s abody of work that invites both self-reflection and wildly joyful movement, and ultimately sparks a quiet transcendence. At turns ecstatic and heavy-hearted, gloriously shambolic and deeply purifying, ​UkinBtheSun​is the outcome of a certain personal transformation that Ford has experienced in recent years. “I used to speak more in metaphors, but this album came out in a much more raw and direct way,” she says. “I’d say that’s a result of being more in my body and more in touch with the wholeness of anger, with taking up space and having boundaries. On this record I freed myself from the folk-writing format, and it’s been a whole different exploration for me.”

“… the instrumentation is face-meltingly amazing” – Julia Jacklin (for UNCUT)

“Don’t be fooled by the glittery jumpsuit. Frazey Ford is out for blood.” – NPR

“Ford tiptoes between soft jazz, smoky soul, and austere country” – Pitchfork

“It’s hard to think of another singer who suggests Dolly Parton, Ann Peebles and Feist. She phrases intuitively, waiting on a word and then drawing it out, and turns good lyrics to oatmeal, adding strange new colors to vowels, making whole syllables vanish.” – New York Times
