Sat 3rd Feb - Louisiana - £9
Only 3 dates into her current tour and Fenne Lily is due to take centre stage at the Louisiana. Being a Bristol based artist it’s certainly a homecoming and will be, I’m sure, a special fixture for her during this 23 stop run.
Having been a Bristol resident for over 2 years now, Fenne Lily has had a residency at the Gallimaufry and played an atmospheric show at the Lord Mayors Chapel as well as being a regular at many other venues across the City.
The tour sees Fenne Lily traverse not only the UK and Ireland but also crossing the waters to the east to see her demonstrate her haunting melodies and driving rhythm guitar to the good folk of the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium.
All said, what can you expect from a Fenne Lily show? Aside from beautifully crafted stories in the form of songs, her onstage manner is so unassuming that when she begins to perform you are arrested into stillness, transfixed by her performance.
The underlying electronic edge to her music is a subtle counterbalance to the delicate acoustic guitar and soft yet powerful vocal. On ‘For a While’ for example, it lends a atmosphere of threat and urgency to an otherwise starkly revealing emotional outpouring.
'On hold' provides a familiar indie feel at the start of the track with it’s clean electric guitar but by the time the slightly driven lead of the middle 8 kicks in at around 1:45 it gives us an other-worldly shiver that has already been hinted at by the brief choral interludes prior to each chorus.
Fenne Lily is an artist that you will watch for the first time and walk away in a state of mesmerisation have been seduced by her simple endearing demeanour. Definitely not one to miss.
