Live review: core. Festival 2025 Glasgow chef’s kiss! Cave In, Defeater, Torche, Agriculture, Jo Quail and a shedload of alternative music’s weirdest and most wonderful get loud in…

"Beautiful and timeless as the flourishes of classical grandeur in Butterfly Dance and White Salt Stag are, it’s those compositions’ white-knuckle tension and distorted unease that mark Jo as perhaps UK alternative’s most singular performer."

International anthem: Jo Quail and Friends, Enschede, Netherlands When I first heard cellist-composer Jo Quail perform – back in 2013, in a solo support slot – it was immediately clear that she occupied a genre all her own. A kindred spirit, for sure,…

πŸ–ΌοΈπŸ€”πŸ‘“ My latest piece for ArtMuseLondon looks at the work of @joquailcello.bsky.social, & in particular her recent orchestral concert in Enschede, Netherlands: one of the most purely uplifting experiences of my listening life. More enthusiasm here:

Review | @joquailcello.bsky.social - Notan by @zmnathanson.bsky.social

"Tense, chill factors, and electronic-orchestrations, Jo’s new album is set with a mesmerising set of unknown worlds that she has unfolded to bring 2025 to a standstill."

Chris Hart wrote this very nice feature for Distorted Sound Magazine. Very lovely to read! πŸ™πŸ₯°
