..::NEW RELEASE!::..

Today is the release of my electro single, “Winter Hunter” - a collaboration with producer The Living Graham Bond. Here’s the bluuuuurb:

Following the previous massive releases from Foamo and Randomer on Fat! Records, Winter Hunter is the latest from the pioneers of all things Fat! A combination of disco-bassline and one of the sweetest vocals around courtesy of London folk princess Fiona Bevan make a pretty special track that’s catchy and you can get down to.

Last week I performed at Should I Stay Or Should I Go - an exhibition at The Chelsea Space, curated by Mick Jones from The Clash. You can see lots of his pop culture memorabilia in the background here- it was vibrant and beautiful. I wrote a piece for the occasion, called A Swoon On The Throne Of Moans. In this photo, we’re performing a piece by Adam De La Cour, where he gets mics shoved into his mouth by Mark’s rubber-gloved hands. It was that kind of night The night was devised by Neil Luck, and we performed his pieces, as well as pieces by Matthew Lee Knowles, Ingrid Laubrock and Jo Thomas, all using text fragments by New York avant-garde playwright Richard Foreman as a starting point.

Last year I was involved in the making of “Life Goes On”, a film directed by Sangeeta Datta, starring Sharmila Tagore, Soha Ali Khan, Om Puri and Girish Karnad.
I co-wrote some of the film’s music with composer and sarod player Soumik Datta, www.myspace.com/soumikdatta and I also had a cameo role in the film, playing and singing in a bar.
Life Goes On has just been declared the Best Film at the Pravasi Film Festival which concluded on Wednesday.

The sweet, fiery warblings of Suffolk singer-songwriter Fiona Bevan have been compared to Erykah Badu, Joni Mitchell and Marc Bolan. Her band simmer and shimmer, her folk songs are inflected with jazz, and her award-winning lyrics pry into the dark corners of love, with a cast of stumbling party-girls, fickle sailors and forlorn lovers sleeping out in trees.

Fiona Bevan has been steadily flouncing her blonde afro round gigs in London / Brighton / Manchester / Zurich / Berlin / Glastonbury. She recently faced the judges on Channel 4’s “Orange Unsigned Act” with trembling knees and a cheeky grin, and won over Blur’s Alex James with her melodies and guitaring.

After a spring and summer jam-packed with gigging, including the acclaimed Vortex Tour East for the Mayor of London’s East Fest 09, Fiona has just released her debut solo album.

“Absolutely brilliant” Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music

“Spine-tingling. Fiona Bevan completely transported me” Alex James, Blur

“Soulful and eccentric” The Guardian

“Film noir atmospheric, scorpion stinging, saccharine-coated Hell Hath No Fury ditties. Splendid stuff.” whisperinandhollerin.com

“Radiant and uplifting . . . a major talent in the waiting” glasswerk.co.uk

Fiona Bevan’s new album, “Plant Your Heart” is: Produced by Andy Fell.
Recorded at Real World Studios, Bath, and in living rooms in Hampstead and Gospel Oak, London, waiting for planes to go over, for summer storms to subside and for taxis to finish pirouetting in the road outside.
Featuring star performances from Francesca Simmons, Paul Taylor, Mark Thomas, Rosalie Bevan, Laura Bevan, Tim Walker, Robin Baynton and Andy Fell.

Mastered by Greg Calbi (Grizzly Bear / Sonic Youth / Martha Wainwright / Clap Your Hands Say Yeah / Mercury Rev etc)

This mirror ball’s a slung moon
That heaves the tides of new tunes
That slap the yellow sides smooth
Of an old wood ship that moves
Mysterious beneath you - 
That rocks, creaks, leaks and, sighing
Capsizes, tips us all in
To swim and find we’re breathing - 
Glad of leaning out towards
A fine silver glittered orb

Fiona Bevan 

It’s FREE!
