In this edition of The Last Mixed Tape’s song-of-the-week feature The Mixed-Tape, we turn our attention to ‘Why Wait’ by Lilla Vargen.
A dreamlike journey into the powerfully emotive music of Lilla Vargen, ‘Why Wait’ moves and shifts in a great wide-open production that places the intimacy of Vargen’s songwriting and performance in the soundscape that mirrors the pathos of the music itself.
‘Why Wait’ marks a giant leap from Lilla Vargen as the promise she has slowly and subtlety built pays off in a song that feels that it matches all the ambition and emotion behind it.
LILLA VARGEN UPCOMING SHOWS
25TH November – McHugh’s Bar, Belfast
26th November – Whelans Upstairs, Dublin
28th November- St. Pancras Old Church, London
