LUCY RAILTON | Paradise 94 (Modern Love) – LP
Lucy Railton is a prolific performer who has appeared on countless recordings and collaborations with many important figures in contemporary music over the last few years. Paradise 94 is, remarkably, her solo debut.
Paradise 94 features archival, location and studio recordings which serve as a time capsule of all the myriad disciplines and influences that have brought her to this point in time.
It both plays up to and shatters expectations of her music, which harnesses a duality of energies – acoustic/electronic, real/imagined, iconic/iconoclastic, pissed-off/romantic; out of place and androgynous – resulting in a visceral emotional insight and rare narrative grasp.
