The Welsh artist Gwenno has been announced for a headline show at Whelan’s in Dublin on October 4th 2022.
Singular Artists presents the producer, musician and singer Gwenno Saunders live in Dublin. Gwenno has just released her excellent third album Tresor (Treasure) on Heavenly Records, of which, one song featured in our songs of July.
The album is sung almost entirely in Cornish (Kernewek).
Tickets on sale Friday August 5th at 10am via Ticketmaster or Gigantic.
Written in St. Ives, Cornwall, just prior to the Covid lockdowns of 2020 and completed at home in Cardiff during the pandemic along with her co-producer and musical collaborator, Rhys Edwards, Tresor reveals an introspective focus on home and self, a prescient work echoing the isolation and retreat that has been a central, globally shared experience over the past two years.
Although Tresor evokes the waters that shape the Cornish experience, it is musically far reaching with influences spanning from Ryuichi Sakamoto to Eden Ahbez and William Basinski. As psychedelically tinged as her previous work, Tresor embeds found sounds ranging from Venice to Vienna, layering cultural and historical atmospheres, decoupling the use of Cornish from any geographic determinism.
