Blink out 20th May!
Written by Brigitte for her highly acclaimed quartet Lucid Dreamers, 'Blink' is the band’s second album release. Partly composed and partly the result of improv sessions, the beautiful 'Blink' transcends jazz, and melds with electronics in a way that is reminiscent not just of Basil Kirchin and Steve Lacy’s late electronic fusion work, but also of Talk Talk and the solo work of Robert Wyatt, in its oceanic ambience, its plaintiveness, and its periodic gusts of squally wildness. 'Blink' - featuring Brigitte Beraha (voice/ electronics), George Crowley (reeds/ electronics), Alcyona Mick (piano/synth) and Tim Giles (drums/ electronics) - is a richly evocative album, yet so spare at times as to threaten to submerge into a blissful, natural silence, intense yet light as air, far reaching in its experimentalism, yet closely attuned to the workings of the human heart.
'A set packed with off-centre pleasures and subtle delights' Mojo, 4 stars
‘The quietly virtuosic UK vocalist Brigitte Beraha is at her delicately airborne, rhythmically audacious best with her closely entwined Lucid Dreamers band (including fine saxophonist George Crowley) and some sparing electronic support on the idiomatically wide-ranging Blink’. The Guardian
‘Easily one of the best vocals-led jazz achievements so far this year and even more interesting because it is so honest and adventurous.’ Marlbank, 4 stars.
‘Best of all Beraha is play-ful: full of fun, and in her band mates, her play pals, she has players who are happy to surrender to play-full approaches to serious living’. Jazzwise **** Editor’s Choice
‘Hypnotic, enthralling..’ Liverpool Sound and Vision
‘A big heads up here for a record scarcely off our player recently’, Marlbank
By the Cobbled Path out now!
This is my solo album (voice/ electronics) made at home and in surrounding nature between November 2020 and July 2021. The recordings also captured sounds of the external environment at the time which provided a vehicle for various conversations and improvisations. Music & lyrics written, recorded and produced by Brigitte Beraha, with post-production, mixing and mastering by Chris Sharkey. Released on Let Me Out Records.
