Oval: Fatshaudi + Mark Allen Soul
By Kit Macdonald
Brisbane's Rachael Ryan, aka Fatshaudi, makes beautifully delicate and wide-eyed electronic pop that has brought her collaboratoons with Jonatan Leandoer, Frederik Valentin, Jamesjamesjames, Lust for Youth, and S3RL in recent times, as well as prestigious composition commissions from Vans, CFCL at Paris Fashion Week and The 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa, Japan. Check out her debut album, Feel It All Around You, for the most complete experience so far available of her gorgeous blend of soft vocals, soaring electronics and sumptuously atmospheric production.
Both sets on Saturday night at Los Angeles Estudio, which can be found out L'Hospitalet de Llobregat way, will be well worth catching. Supporting Fatshaudi is Mark Allen Soul, who makes music for hibernation, which should feel prescient and appealing in mid-October. His sound occupies a space between spoken word and ambient, or, in his own words "a sonic castle built on soft melodies and poetry, presented in a heavily nostalgic hybrid-live format."
