SUMMARY:Anna von Hausswolff
LOCATION:Union Stage
DESCRIPTION:Anna von Hausswolff is a Swedish musician and composer whose wo
 rk carves out space for the celestial and the transcendent to enter into t
 he modern world. Following her breakthrough album\, Ceremony (2012)\, von 
 Hausswolff's subsequent releases quickly cemented her as an artist of unpr
 edictable and vast creativity\, always moving forward\, always melding tra
 dition with experimentation in unimaginable ways.\n\nTaking the pipe organ
 \, with its ancient whirring character\, as her instrument of choice\, von
  Hausswolf's sound has long played with the ethereal qualities of breath: 
 of taking in\, holding\, and releasing it. This sometimes takes the form o
 f colossal\, doom-laden rock songs\, and at other times\, as intimate orga
 n pieces. On ICONOCLASTS\, her sound evolves again\, bringing a poppier an
 d more vibrant element to her moving songs. ICONOCLASTS is von Hausswolf's
  sixth LP\, and her debut release on Swedish record label YEAR0001. Produc
 ed by von Hausswolf and longtime collaborator Filip Leyman\, it is an opus
  of stirring movement\, anthemic ritualism\, and maximalist composition\, 
 marking a new chapter in von Hausswolff's music and featuring appearances 
 from Ethel Cain\, Abul Mogard\, Iggy Pop and Maria von Hausswolf.\n\nICONO
 CLASTS begins with brass heralding out\, beckoning listeners into the boun
 dless story that is about to unfold. Before long\, von Hausswolf's first b
 eaming vocals ring out: "I came to take you back to where you came from\, 
 but that's not what you want." From this\, the groundwork is set for an al
 bum of blistering\, mounting tension and hard-fought\, euphoric release. A
 ddressing themes of love\, freedom\, and autonomy\, its title\, ICONOCLAST
 S\, hints at a shattering and reimagining of the sacred personal symbols t
 hat bubble under the surface of contemporary life: commitment\, time\, dep
 endency\, and belief.\n\nIn this pursuit\, von Hausswolff chooses Atlas 
 — he who carries the world's weight upon his shoulders — as a sympathe
 tic character. How does one find the strength to prevent collapsing in the
 se trying moments? For von Hausswolff\, it is the pursuit of the divine. S
 he finds inspiration in the fears and contradictions that arise when one i
 s faced with monolithic power structures and concepts. The songs on ICONOC
 LASTS transform these uncertain feelings into kindling for the creation of
  sonic bonfires of immense scale. Von Hausswolff sows her songs in the bor
 derlands between the gargantuan and the intimate\, and it is the ashes of 
 these demolished symbols that fertilise its grounds for new possibilities.
 \n\nStripping back the metallic qualities that have characterised her soun
 d\, on ICONOCLASTS\, von Hausswolff breaks open the gates into a warm soun
 d world\, rich in organic\, gleaming potentials. Between echoing drums\, m
 urmuring organs\, and reverberating guitars\, von Hausswolff herself becom
 es one figure in this fluttering aural space. On ICONOCLASTS\, her ensembl
 e is expanded to include the virtuoso saxophonist Otis Sandsjö\, who brin
 gs his swirling saxophone trills to the core of the record. With a magneti
 c power\, her voice pulls the listener closer\, offering glimpses into an 
 emotive world of secrets and madness\, of heartbreak and desire\, of beaut
 y and life. Although pushing towards new sonic territory\, ICONOCLASTS fea
 tures all of the signature qualities of a von Hausswolff release: mammoth 
 intensity\, crystalline iridescence\, and lustrous dynamism.\n\nBoletos: h
