“As well as her haunting vocals, on Songs Of Resilience Simrit plays harmonium and mellotron and is accompanied by a septet who between them play kora, pueblo log drums, congas, cello, electronics, electric and acoustic guitars, drum kit and miscellaneous percussion. Simrit says “This music changes consciousness, and that is where we can start.

It’s about finding the sounds to aid change, to expand what you can see and embrace”
