Cara Tolmie鈥檚 mixtape

Join Verity Sharp as we enjoy the sounds that shaped the musical universe of vocalist Cara Tolmie.

Verity Sharp presents an exclusive Late Junction mixtape from Cara Tolmie. Following on from her acclaimed 2025 release 鈥楤ody Lapse鈥�, a collaboration with Rian Treanor, Tolmie here explores her sonic roots and shares formative influences and firm favourites in the creation of vibrant musical collage.

A Glasgow-born, Sweden-based artist and improviser, Tolmie鈥檚 artistic aim is - as she puts it - to 鈥榗omplexify the bind between voice and body via mesmerising and uncanny vocalisations.鈥� This is achieved in her music through her own practice of 鈥榠nternal singing鈥�, in which breath, movement, repetitive phrases and sung fragments are used to explore the limits of vocalisation. Tolmie鈥檚 projects and performances dig into the uncanny power of voice distortion, effects created through both technological and corporeal means.

Elsewhere in the show: The Early delight in dense basement clattering; and Mohammad Reza Mortazavi conjures intricate, deft and swampy timbres on the Iranian tombak.
