Jo Johnson

Adept at creating an atmosphere of transcendence, her music unites and reinterprets a mixture of familiar and more esoteric points of reference. These include the devotional cadences of Alice Coltrane and the rhythm as melody experiments of Steve Reich. Johnson is a former guitarist with 90s punk group Huggy Bear and a long-term co-organiser of London’s Bleep43 events and label. Her debut LP Weaving was released on Further Records in 2014.
