New Félicia Atkinson album: Between comfort and discomfort, quiet and disquiet

French musician, poet, and visual artist Félicia Atkinson made her new album 'The Flower and the Vessel' while awaiting a child - “not about being pregnant but a record made with pregnancy", trying "to reassert her connection to the world". It is an album placed "in the intimate, unruly liminal space between comfort and discomfort, quiet and disquiet". The Quietus likes it a lot: "I’m reminded of my excursions into the deeply quiet, of the relief of long cicada drones or lone bird calls, of how sound is often a lifeline in an unfamiliar space. Those sounds resonated around my brain's memory centres, turning unfamiliarity into something else".
