Paige Naylor with Olivia Block and Lula Asplund
@ Constellation Chicago
3111 N Western Ave, Chicago, IL 60618
Opening Friday, February 16th, at 8PM
Paige Naylor will perform her latest album live, The Unearthing, released through Monastral, along with performances by Olivia Block and Lula Asplund. The Unearthing is a metaphor for transformation through grief — an uprooting — told through story, song, and slowly changing sonic textures of a new euphoric ambient genre. The album was composed, performed, and recorded by Paige using voice and electronics, sampled vinyl, synthesizer, and field recordings.
