Considering the rapturous reception of her latest album Great Doubt, astridsonne_'s Big Ears set was subdued. She and her stagemates, dressed in staid church garb, played inspired string interludes between tracks, but she made few attempts to work the seated crowd of aging millennials, salt-and-pepper Gen-Xers, and full-on boomers. ⁠
⁠
During most songs, she put down her viola and stepped behind a small mixer on a low stand, triggering and tweaking electronic tracks. Once satisfied, she returned to the mic and sang, accentuating her words with subtle steps and swivels of the hips. Aside from a few moments of mild chafing between the secular crowd and its liturgical trappings — a dropped hymnal here, an echoing cough there — the hour sped by.⁠
⁠
“You want to do something that feels natural and good, but you also want to meet people’s expectations of you. That’s always an interesting intersection to interrogate," she tells The FADER.⁠
