Louisa Stancioff is set to perform at 7 p.m. Friday, May 3, at the Clifford Arts & Student Center, 42 Depot St. in Unity. The concert is in support of her debut album “When We Were Looking,” released this month via Yep Roc.
Written and recorded through a transitional, transient period filled with heartbreak and uncertainty, “When We Were Looking” is raw and unflinching, holding nothing back in its bittersweet reckonings with pain, healing, acceptance, and growth.
Stancioff writes with a cinematic eye, conjuring up richly detailed stagings for her emotionally-charged character studies sung with a silvery resonance. The songs’ guitar-and-synth-focused arrangements are immersive and nuanced to match, thanks in part to the evocative sonic landscaping of producer/keyboardist Sam Kassirer (Josh Ritter, Craig Finn), who proves to be an ideal creative foil on the record.
Tickets cost $20.
