BRETT ANDERSON, CHARLES HAZLEWOOD, AND PARAORCHESTRA FEATURING NADINE SHAH AND GWENNO IN AN EXQUISITE ANTHOLOGY OF MUSIC BY ICONS SUCH AS ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN, SKEETER DAVIS, JAPAN, DAVID BOWIE & JACQUES BREL, DEPECHE MODE, AND SUEDE.

This rich set – amplified by the diversity and virtuosity of Paraorchestra musicians in new arrangements by composer Charlotte Harding – features delicate new versions of songs about death, the death of love, of loss, and ultimately of transcendence. It reminds us that music is our greatest friend in bleak times; inviting us to crouch around a candle and meet our sorrow head-on, comforting, nourishing, and uplifting.

For the Dutch: Paraorchestra is the Bristol based ‘Josti Band’
