From Beyoncé to Maggie Gyllenhaal, older sisters have always ruled. So when classically trained beat-maker Tom Misch started turning heads in London, we should really have been watching the saxophonist at his side.
Laura Misch has gigged and written songs with her Beat Tape-making little brother. But she's recently stepped sideways into the limelight, selling out her first headline gig last year, and supporting Roy Ayersand Soweto Kinch. She shares her sibling's smooth jazz leanings, and says she started playing sax aged 11 in rebellion against being made to learn violin like him. Looped sax and synth parts make an unexpected bed for her gorgeous, folkish voice.
For this exclusive session, Misch plays Flow, which she wanted to sound like a "waterfall" of saxophone parts, and We Wait, a song so new she had to finish it especially for this session. It's the prettiest song about "feeling your mind is decomposing" that you're likely to hear this week.
Get to know Laura Misch a little better and check out exclusive performances of We Wait (from 2m 0s) and Flow (8m 50s) in the player above.
