Lucy Clifford – Between Spaces of Knowing

Following off the back of her recent EP release ‘Meeting Place’, this latest full-length album serves as a continuation into Lucy’s creative identity and features a collective of Sydney’s diverse artists in improvised music, including Thomas Avgenicos on trumpet, David Reglar on tenor saxophone, Freyja Garbett on piano, Alex Masso on drums and Chris Fields on percussion. Created amidst years of transient living between countries and constant motion, Between Spaces Of Knowing draws inspiration from life’s in-between moments of contemplation, where we meet our real selves. Each track off the album is inspired by defining life-reflections that lead to new understandings and aims to remind listeners how much can be learnt from finding presence in the many spaces and places we find ourselves.

The album’s title, “Avoudé,” which translates to “celebration,” reflects its infectious energy and uplifting spirit. Through intricate rhythms, powerful horn sections, and Dogo du Togo’s soulful vocals, the band creates a musical landscape that honors African heritage while pushing creative boundaries. Each track is a celebration of life, culture, and resilience, offering listeners a rich tapestry of sound that is both timeless and fresh. “Avoudé” is an exciting introduction to a band poised to make waves on the global stage.
