Francesca Brierley - aka heka - creates aural landscapes, where her spectral vocals offer moments of clarity amongst the static. Rejecting genre constraints in favour of a sonic hybridity, 2021 saw her release (a), a collection of self-produced, butchered folk songs which, through the melding of electronic and organic tones, delivered an EP that is as haunting as it is enticing. Having toured the UK with the cult acclaimed White Flowers, as well as playing shows with the likes of Modern Woman, Broadside Hacks and Aga Ujma, heka is now back in the studio adding the final touches to her next body of work.
