ghostsandshadows (Disarm:15) - She Makes War by shemakeswar published on 2015-11-08T22:35:17Z 5 supercharged rerecordings of songs from gloom-pop siren She Makes War's critically acclaimed debut album "Disarm" (2010). Produced by Laura Kidd, mixed by Dan Austin. Release date: 4th December 2015. === Laura Kidd aka She Makes War is in a reflective mood, celebrating the fifth anniversary of her critically acclaimed debut album ”Disarm” with an EP and a short winter tour. “Disarm:15” revisits several audience favourites from her debut, tenderly reworked with the benefit of five years of life, love and touring. As Kierkegaard said, "Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards." It’s been a busy year for the Bristol polymath, taking in two German tours, a universally acclaimed one-woman show at Edinburgh Fringe (“a charming hour of biographical storytelling and music…perfectly executed acoustic gems” - The List), support tours with Duke Special (UK) and The Levellers (UK & Europe), a 22 date UK headline tour, dates with tUnE-yArDs, Gruff Rhys, New Model Army and Pretty Vicious and the recording of her third album “Direction Of Travel” (due for release in early 2016). A heartstealing blend of solo a capella looping, riot grrrl inflected indie rock and ukulele melancholy with a spellbindingly intimate vocal capable of melting even the harshest of hearts, She Makes War will visit Birmingham, Manchester, London and her newly adopted home town of Bristol for four special headline shows which will heavily draw from “Disarm” and forthcoming third album “Direction Of Travel". Support on all four shows will come from Eliza Rickman (USA). Tour dates: Tuesday 1st December - Birmingham - Sunflower Lounge Wednesday 2nd December - Manchester - The Castle Hotel Thursday 3rd December - London - Sebright Arms Friday 4th December - Bristol - The Louisiana Tickets - www.shemakeswar.com/disarm-tour CREDITS: Produced by Laura Kidd.
