Pop Mutations present a double-headline show with Dali Muru & The Polyphonic Swarm and Susannah Stark!

Dali Muru & the Polyphonic Swarm (Dalia Neis, Enir Da & Chrls Lamouroux), sit in the middle of a Venn diagram consisting of medieval inspired troubadour poetry, cinema soundtrack and primordial electronics. Gesturing toward ancient lineages of poetry and storytelling, Dali Muru is driven by the spell of the spoken word, minimal percussive refrains, oneiric textures & deep melodic synths, channeling cinematic imagery, enigmatic narratives & spiritual frenzy. Their self-titled debut album was released on Stroom in 2022 , and their recent refracted audiobook 'Murmur of the Bath Spirits' was just released (again on Stroom) in April 2023. Since their releases, they have performed live at a variety of venues and festivals across UK and Europe including Rewire Festival, Den Haag, Ideal Trouble Festival, Paris, Meakusma, Eupen, and Listen Festival, Brussels. Their music has been featured extensively on NTS radio, Movement Radio Athens, BB6 Late Junction, and Radio Al-Hara among others.

Susannah Stark is a singer, composer and visual artist from Fife, Scotland. She makes experimental pop songs and soundscapes formed out of exploration into softness and vulnerability. These soundscapes; orchestrated by voice, field recordings, keyboard, trumpet and distorted percussion, are intended to evoke places - both internal and external - connected with experiences of faith and being. Playing live with her are trumpet player Philip Cardwell and drummer Laurie Pitt (Golden Teacher, Dick 50). Her debut album ‘Time Together (Hues And Intensities)’ released by Stroom in 2020, was described by Noel Gardner in The Quietus as “a seven-song serving of gossamer dub-pop experimentalism" and its live performance constellation by Jude Browning in MAP Magazine as "music suspending weightlessness and opacity with the unfathomable facets of existence".
