Diamanda Galás

‘She sings with an operatic soprano, a death-rattle rasp, work-song rhythms, sustained shrieks, long-lined modal incantations and rapid-fire gibberish; her piano can hint at bluesy boogie-woogie, tinkling minimalism and cracked church bells. It’s overwhelming.’ (New York Times)

‘Galás puts that extraordinary vocal technique to the service of narrative. Electrifying.’ (★★★★ Guardian)
 ‘Unique force of nature. Long may she heal us’ (The Wire)
