She was the founder of the punk group Aunt Sally, but since the band has broken up she has been active mostly solo. She has done collaborations with Can\u2019s Jaki Liebezeit and Holger Czukay, legendary krautrock producer Conny Plank, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Jah Wobble, Bill Laswell, Jim O\u2019Rourke and The Boredoms, the creation of various punk bands. In 2017, she released her first solo album in 20 years, titled <em>Light Sleep<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>After that, she kept active with releasing new material with other musicians such as Ana Da Silva and Jim O\u2019Rourke. Live, her voice is at the commands while abstract electronics are treated directly, creating tracks that are both highly emotional and sonically challenging. In 2020 a collection of material previously released on compilations, collaborations, singles and CD-r&#8217;s only got released with the title <em>Vertigo KO\u00a0<\/em>via the label Disciples, while in 2021 Mute Records released\u00a0<em>New Decade<\/em>, a new solo album recorded in her home studio in the Tokyo suburb of Kawasaki during the pandemic. Last year her 1992 album <em>Our Likeness<\/em> was re-released on vinyl, CD and digitally via Mute Records.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Phew - Into the Stream (Official Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/p5xSxDRBgKQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h3>Phew Tour in Europe Spring 2024<\/h3>\n<p>Friday 29 March, 2024: Pr\u00e9sences \u00e9lectronique &#8211; Paris, France<br \/>\nMonday 01 April, 2024: Alice &#8211; Copenhagen, Denmark<br \/>\nThursdya 04 April, 2024: Jaki at Stadtgarten &#8211; Cologne, Germany<br \/>\nSaturday 06 April, 2024: Rewire Festival &#8211; The Hague, Netherlands<br \/>\nSunday 07 April, 2024 Rewire Festival &#8211; The Hague, Netherlands, duo with Oren Ambarchi<br \/>\nFriday 31 May, 2024: Primavera Festival &#8211; Barcelona, Spain<\/p>\n<p>At Rewire Festival, Phew will perform two times, one solo set where she present a new live set including voice and electronics and a day later with composer and multi-instrumentalist Oren Ambarchi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Avant-garde vocalist and experimental electronic music pioneer Phew has plans to perform a few shows in Europe this spring, including two shows at Rewire Festival in The Hague, one at Pr\u00e9sences \u00e9lectronique in Paris and Primavera Festival in Barcelona.
