Shannon Lay’s latest album, Geist feels like a window - or a mirror - into possibilities of the self and beyond. Geist is tender intensity, placeless and ethereal. It exists in the chasms of the present -- a world populated by shadow selves, spiritual awakenings, déjà vu, and past lives. As a whole, Geist is both esoteric and accessible.

Initially forming in 2016, Cambridge quartet Lemondaze have become one of the finest emerging talents in Britain’s burgeoning alternative music scene thanks to their transcendental brand of shoegaze. Their debut EP Celestial Bodies is a testament to this- featuring swirling guitars and hypnotic drums that form to create an ethereal experience that enables the band to convey their varying expressions of cis and non-cisgenders and sexualities.

The LMHR Collective is a true representation of the Love Music Hate Racism campaign. A revolving door for musicians and artists who believe in music as a force for good from different many different backgrounds. On this special evening we will feature a performance with music of vocal virtuoso and soulstres Kianja, award-winning-jazz-saxophonist and musical titan Camila George, as well as one of London’s most talented emcees, Consensus. We can’t wait to share this experience with Sound and Vision Festival in Cambridge.
