About this event
Bedouine, the project of Azniv Korkejian, is known for her timeless folk sound and subtle, compelling songwriting. Her soft voice and refined guitar style craft songs that slowly unfurl and resonate deeply. She has previously shared stages with the likes of Fleet Foxes and Father John Misty and received praise from the likes of Pitchfork and Rolling Stone. Her latest album Neon Summer Skin (out on 5 June) returns to the essence of her youth: warm summer days, a sense of security, and the quiet realisation that this time irrevocably passes. The album was conceived following a final visit to her family in Saudi-Arabia and it feels like an intimate farewell. Whereas her previous work was often universal, here she delves into personal memories and tangible images. Musically, her characteristic, gentle folk, remains intact, but the sound has become richer and more layered. Piano, brass and dreamy arrangements give the songs a new depth. Neon Summer Skin is both a process of mourning and a new start. An album about letting go, and finding a home again - within yourself.
