We have one more new show to announce for 2025 - we are delighted to be welcoming WOOM to Oxford for the first time as they join us at The Nest on Sun 30th Nov for a gorgeous evening of song.
WOOM is comprised of Alice Barlow, Gray Rimmer, Lara Laeverenz, and Isobel Risk. A low hum, a harmony and ripple, a mirror of reverberating melismatic vocals carrying listeners to the heart of a sound. The South London four-piece choir, have recently released their latest single ‘Circe’ to critical acclaim from the likes of The Guardian, Crack Magazine and The Line of Best fit and 6 Music and Radio 3 amongst others. This spellbinding introduction to their forthcoming project follows the acclaimed 2021 debut EP ‘Into The Rest’, which saw them reimagine a diverse selection of tracks from luminary artists into bewitching new forms.
The notoriety of WOOM’s performances have already garnered an impressive live legacy, with the band recently joining Clarissa Connelly on stage at the ICA alongside Caroline Polachek, and supporting King Krule, The Big Moon and Grouper. The band have also performed at many prestigious festivals, including Glastonbury, Mirrors and Boiler Room Festival, including two consecutive sold-out headline shows at the Southbank Centre.
Full line-up soon but this is one not to be missed - all ages and wheelchair accessible show from 7pm at the Nest on Sun 30th Nov
“WOOM weave music of spare plaintive beauty, from the most minimal of elements: four voices, and one (tastefully deployed) guitar” – Loud & Quiet
“There are shades of Cat Power at her most downbeat here, but it’s all about the harmonies with this indie-folk quartet: dreamy but with an edge of threat." – The Guardian
