Joanne Robertson’s mixtape

Verity Sharp presents the latest exclusive Late Junction mixtape from musician, painter and poet Joanne Robertson, ahead of the release of her new album Blurrr.

Joanne Robertson is an artist, singer-songwriter and guitarist from Manchester. Now based in Glasgow, she creates raw, intimate songs that are akin to sketches or diary entries, primarily working with her voice and guitar.

Joanne’s choices explore the key role collaboration plays in her music, and features artists she’s frequently worked with including Dean Blunt and Oliver Coates. Her mixtape explores the thin line between painting and songwriting, the power of immediacy, and ruminates on the work of Luc Ferrari and Grouper.

Elsewhere in the show, there’s melding of club cultures and experimental art with Rian Treanor & Cara Tolmie’s brand of ‘dissociative dance music’; playfully intense piano melodies from Joanna Duda’s forthcoming album ‘Delighted’; and Swedish jazz pioneer Christer Bothén’s stunning and sacred meditations on the Malian harp.
