Gig: Timber Festival: Alice Boyd presents From The Understory


  • Feanedock The National Forest Leicestershire (map)

Alice Boyd presents her debut EP From The Understory exploring our evolutionary journey and interconnectedness with plant life through a rich arrangement of voices, electronics and analogue textures.

Developed as part of Alice’s residency at the Eden Project, Cornwall – home to the world’s largest indoor rainforest – this collection of songs tells the story of civilisation at a tipping point.

She is joined by singer/musicians Dazey, Jacob Norris and zha, who together sing three-part harmony, inspired by groups such as Dirty Projectors and Deep Throat Choir. The songs will be woven together with interludes by writer Natasha Kaeda, whose storytelling will explore our relationship with the ecosystems we live in.

“Alice’s music brings together a unique combination of sweet vocal harmonies, throbbing electronic textures and sounds from the Rainforest Biome never before heard by humans. Together these beautifully reframe the urgency of the climate crisis into an opportunity for reconnection with nature.” – Sir Tim Smit KBE, Co-Founder of Eden Project and Executive Vice Chair of EPL
