Cordelia Gartside

cordelia gartside’s been building a lo-fi alt-rock world since she formed her band last year. her songs carry the tension of a Lynch scene – the quiet, then the collapse.

live, her band builds atmosphere out of reverb, distortion and groaning guitars. gartside’s voice cuts through it, or breaks inside it. her sharp lyrics and hypnotic delivery make the quiet as arresting as the noise.
