Produced in conjunction with Clocktower Radio (clocktower.org).

This week Blank Forms' Lawrence Kumpf and Arian Rew dedicate the hour to avant-garde vocalist Phew whose eclectic career has consistently attracted collaborations with the cream of her contemporaries in left-field popular music. 

She started her first group Aunt Sally after attendening a Sex Pistols show, An Osaka art-punk band releasing one coveted album on Vanity Records in 1979. Ryuichi Sakamoto then produced her debut single as a solo artist and her subsequent classic self-titled LP features the propulsive backbone of CAN's Jaki Liebezeit and Holger Czukay. The next three decades took her from post-punk with members of Einstürzende Neubaten and DAF to experimental pop with Jim O'Rourke, her stoic voice remaining unmistakably Phew throughout.
