Anna Von Hausswolff @ St. John Bethnal Green (2)
Imagine the peculiar conglomeration of Kate Bush and organ music and you get Anna Von Hausswolff’s ‘funeral pop’. On Friday 18th March she will be performing at St John Bethnal Green. The Guardian describe her as, “Part banshee-voiced member of a witches’ coven, part Sweden’s highbrow answer to Mogwai, Anna von Hausswolff is a genuine one-off…the boldness of her vision is compelling”.
