New Orleans electro-revival dynamo Dawn Richard unites with multi-instrumentalist, producer, and composer Spencer Zahn for a stunning concert in support of their second collaborative album. Quiet in a World Full of Noise blends atmospheric and orchestral soundscapes with mellifluous soul, jazz, and journalistic vocalizing—driving it all home with stark, confessional lyricism. Richard is, “a singer of big emotions, and even as she’s pushed her solo work further into experimental realms, she has continued to foreground feeling above all else” (Pitchfork). Zahn and Richard have made an album that serves as a blueprint for stillness, simplicity, and the art of working across differences in the midst of a polarizing cultural climate. Richard describes Quiet in a World Full of Noise as grounding: “Right now, everyone’s a little bit overwhelmed. I hope that this will be the record that people put on when they need the opportunity for reflection, when they need the stillness in their lives, now more than ever.”
