Silver Godling – why?
Roadburn has always been a festival which is open for experimental music but also, generally, more esoteric music. This year, amongst all the heavy and noisy artists, nestles Silver Godling, the pseudonym of Emily McWilliams, who released her last record Conversations with Henry last year. You might know her as one member of the Thou collective, who are once again taking over Roadburn stages, this time with their manifold projects - also check out text for Supplicate. Emily’s instrument of choice is the piano, with a classical background as the scaffold onto which all other sounds are hung, the delicate stylings will be a thing of gossamer fragility amongst the wall of sound found elsewhere. This will be an incredible opportunity to take a breath, relax and get carried away by the stunning music on offer. Relax into the pillowy softness of the ethereal and emerge out the other side ready to take on that next gnarly band fully. You will be recharging physically and emotionally - one of the important things during a four-day-festival!
Silver Godling will perform on Friday, April 18!
