New Models: Album Launch

What are the new models, new frameworks, new approaches? Who are the new models, new archetypes, new leaders?

Join us for a meditative performance of Vivek Shraya’s 11th solo album NEW MODELS (Twin Fang Records) followed by a revisitation of her previous musical works. Part concert, part ritual, this work invites audiences to reflect on the shifting cultural landscape and uncertainties.

“What follows isn’t a literal scream or cry, but Shraya’s own sonic synthesis of meditative coos colliding into a bombastic end, leaving listeners with a sense of catharsis that can’t really be put into words.”
