Esteemed spoken word artist Joshua Idehen and innovative producer Ludvig Parment are set to tour with their acclaimed new EP, Mum Does the Washing.
Known for fusing deeply personal, evocative poetry with entrancing indie-dance rhythms, Idehen and Parment have crafted a live performance that is equal parts rave and (secular) sermon—a show that, according to Louder Than War, is “an experience everyone needs to witness.”
The title track of Mum Does the Washing has been turning heads across the music industry, earning high praise from major tastemakers, including Jamz Supernova and Huw Stephens (BBC Radio 6), Nick Grimshaw, (BBC Radio 1), and even pop icon Robbie Williams. The EP has become a sensation among critics, further cementing Idehen and Parment as powerful voices in the UK’s indie music scene.
Support for this tour comes from Shanaz Dorsett, Nadeem Din Gabisi, and John Berkavitch.
Shanaz Dorsett is a singer-songwriter based in South London. Her most recent work blends witty lyricism and bold hip-hop production to create ear-wormy tunes that cuts to the heart of human experiences.
Nadeem Din Gabisi is an award-winning poet, filmmaker, and musician who has cemented his unique voice as one of the most though-provoking new artists to emerge from the UK in recent years. Nadeem’s work seeks to reimagine and investigate blackness as it pertains to his experiences as a British born, second generation immigrant of Sierra Leonean descent.
