Verity Sharp

Verity Sharp's selection includes George Monbiot's musings on loneliness, Irish experimental music as discovered by Jennifer Walshe and post-rock from Stars of the Lid.

Verity Sharp has musings on loneliness from George Monbiot and Ewan McLennan, as well as an in-depth look at the role isolation plays in music and art. Elsewhere, Jennifer Walshe leads an excavation into the uncovered ambient soundscapes of Ireland, and we revisit the expansive post-rock of Stars of the Lid ahead of their performance at the Barbican for this year's Transcender festival.

Produced by Alannah Chance for Reduced Listening.
