One of my favourite artist discoveries of the past few years, is Gordi. From the get go, her music has always been beautifully textured; she dances with layers and effects and takes you into this sonic quilt with every song. But strip it back, and at its heart is incredible writing, and a perspective that gives each song new light. That’s what we played with, when I asked Gordi to come in and Take 5. I wanted her to choose five songs that, for her, had showed a new perspective – maybe years after she’d first discovered them. From Carole King to Bon Iver, Sharon Van Etten to The Tallest Man on Earth, this is as much a new perspective on these amazing songs, as it is a reflection on a remarkable few years for Sophie Payten.
Carole King - ‘Tapestry’
Bon Iver - 715 - ‘CR∑∑KS’
Sharon Van Etten - ‘Afraid of Nothing’
Mitski - ‘Geyser’
The Tallest Man On Earth - ‘The Gardener’
