If I could only describe Sudan Archives’ show with one word, it would be energy. From the
choreography to the lighting to the crowd, there wasn’t a single moment of the show that wasn’t sweaty and full of movement. The Los Angeles based singer and violinist Brittney Parks took off on her U.S. tour earlier this year following the release of her third studio album The BPM. This album, like the other works that Parks has produced, is a genre bending, high energy record full of life and emotion which she is able to translate flawlessly to the stage.
The night opened with an equally energetic set from Cydnee with a C. The K-pop inspired artist brought an air of fun and authenticity to her first performance in San Francisco. With a show full of liveliness, jokes, and backup dancers, she had the audience hooked from the first note to the minute she exited.
Sudan Archives took the stage, and I swear you could’ve heard the crowd’s cheers from
blocks away. One of the more notable aspects of her show is her use of the violin. It’s not often we see such an instrument being used in conjunction with electronic music, but Parks is able to make her beat-heavy tracks go hand and hand with her talent with the violin. Mix that with her vocals and choreography and you have one of the most unique and captivating shows out there. One thing is clear to me after attending this tour: no one puts on a performance quite like Sudan Archives.
