6 Music Introducing: Tanya Auclair & Nat Johnson and the Figureheads

How utterly compelling is Tanya Auclair? If you, like we here at TOW, are feeling a bit stupid for not having found her before – don’t despair, we’re blaming it on the fact that NOTHING this interesting ever breaks into the mainstream. NOTHING this interesting will get picked up by a major label, especially as Tanya Auclair is doing it all herself – her EP Thrum is up for grabs for gratis at her Bandcamp. Why isn’t Jools Holland’s production team all over this artist? She needs some late night BBC 1 exposure. Maybe one day… Tanya’s already embedded in the London soul circuit having sung as part of the Goldsmiths Ensemble, in the choir for the brilliant Alice Russell and currently supporting producer Yult. More please!
