Listen "Gordi's new light songs"
Episode Synopsis
One of my favourite artist discoveries of the past few years, is Gordi. From the get go, her music has always been beautifully textured; she dances with layers and effects and takes you into this sonic quilt with every song. But strip it back, and at its heart is incredible writing, and a perspective that gives each song new light. That’s what we played with, when I asked Gordi to come in and Take 5. I wanted her to choose five songs that, for her, had showed a new perspective – maybe years after she’d first discovered them. From Carole King to Bon Iver, Sharon Van Etten to The Tallest Man on Earth, this is as much a new perspective on these amazing songs, as it is a reflection on a remarkable few years for Sophie Payten.Carole King - ‘Tapestry’Bon Iver - 715 - ‘CR∑∑KS’Sharon Van Etten - ‘Afraid of Nothing’Mitski - ‘Geyser’The Tallest Man On Earth - ‘The Gardener’
