Victoria Hume | Soundhouse Winter Festival

Details

Edinburgh-based Victoria Hume is an acclaimed singer-songwriter known for intertwining her musical and professional life – she works as an arts manager in health and medicine and as a researcher. For example, her 2013project Delirium was a cycle of songs themed around the complex hallucinations patients have been know to experience during hospital intensive care. She has been signed to pioneering record label Lost Map since 2015.

An ambitious, inspiring and thought-provoking record unlike anything Lost Map has released before, Radical Abundance is Victoria’s new album of absorbing atmospheric alt-folk songs, about the dying days of capitalism and what might emerge next.

Made with support from Creative Scotland, the album is inspired by the book Less is More: How Degrowth Will Save the World by Jason Hickel and based on interviews with Hickel as well as other activists and agitators seeking to steer the world away from a failing economic system.

Victoria will be performing this album and other material with long-term collaborator Chris Letcher.
