About this Event
‘A clap of thunder over the lukewarm waters of contemporary folk.’ (Télérama) ‘Broken folk’ duo Lunatraktors are choreographer and percussionist Carli Jefferson (she/her), and partially-sighted vocalist and researcher Clair Le Couteur (they/them). They rework Anglo-Celtic music with influences from post-punk, pagan rave and folk horror, stripping tradition down to its bare bones. Their primal, ritualistic sound blends tonal drumming and harmonic singing with deep drones from accordion and analogue synth. Le Couteur’s self-taught overtones and 3+ octave range combine with Jefferson’s polyrhythmic hybrid of tap, flamenco, body percussion and acoustic beats, developed after touring with STOMP (2001-2004). MOJO Top Ten Folk Albums of 2019 and 2021. British Music Collection LGBTQ+ Composers Award 2021.
