Alice Gun records in her North London drinks cabinet and down a Lakeland mineshaft, distilling brutal/beautiful songs from guitars, glockenspiel, double bass, cello, E-bow, accordion and a lopsided upright.
A classically-trained multi-instrumentalist, she also plays cello for blues man Mr David Viner in a long-running collaboration which has included recording with Ed Harcourt and touring with the White Stripes. She also does house music vocals for the money.
Live, Alice Gun is joined by her producer and Damon Albarn-collaborator Al Mobbs on double bass, Robbie Jarvis on drums and Sam Campari on everything else. A string section featuring members of the Monroe Transfer also joined her for the July 6th single launch.
