Experimental vocalist and electronic musician Phew is set to release a compilation of previously unheard material from the sessions which resulted in her recent Light Sleep and Voice Hardcore albums. Vertigo KO will also feature freshly recorded tracks including a cover of “The Void”, originally recorded by The Raincoats in 1979.

“This album is an unconscious sound sketch”, says Phew. “It was recorded in Japan from 2017 to 2019, a closed and obstructive time. It is not a presentation of a worldview, but a personal documentary music of the late 2010s. The hidden message of this album is: What a terrible world we live in, but let's survive.”

Vertigo KO is released by Disciples on 4 September and is available to pre-order now.
