London based experimental saxophonist, composer and producer Lara Jones joins us live at The Glad Cafe on 19th May!

"Electronics queen" - Mary Anne Hobbs, BBC 6 Music

“Foreboding, rhythmic noise, it’s raw and loud like intense emotion” Jazzwise

“Lara threads energetic layers of improvised electronics inspired by 90s big beat classics, and her own sampled voice projecting a sense of fragility and defiance in equal measure. Really powerful stuff.” Gazelle Twin

Creating high energy pulsating electronics using saxophone, synths, beats, live processing, voice and field recording; Lara builds structures and queer narratives through her work. New EP Fig is explosive and chaotic with rampant breakbeats and glitchy electronics. It’s also powerful and intimate with queer energy weaving through each track, offering a personal insight of Lara’s connection to her own queer identity and experiences. Lara’s new project follows on from the success of her 2022 EP release Flow as she now returns with her grittiest, heaviest and boldest pieces of music yet.

Her new EP 'Fig' is released on 16th June.
