We have partnered with Control Club and launched a new series of bookings focused on jazz with influences from neo-soul, hip-hop, and electronic music. The first booking unfolds the series [ALT JAZZ] and brings forth the UK rising voice, Bel Cobain, on Monday, March 9.

The refusal to aestheticize pain constitutes the EP's defining ethic. At one point, Cobain mutters that she is finished with wiping dry eyes—a late decision spoken after too many rehearsals. It is a total rejection of the societal expectation that a woman’s suffering must be rendered in a shape that is palatable or easy to consume.
