Beth Orton

Folktronica pioneer Beth Orton brings her new album The Ground Above to Alexandra Palace Theatre this October.

For more than three decades, Beth Orton has remained one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary music. Since her 1996 debut Trailer Park, she has built a catalogue marked by emotional clarity and constant evolution, from Comfort of Strangers to the spectral, self-produced Weather Alive. Released in 2022, Weather Alive became a major critical breakthrough, signaling not just a return but a reinvention. Her first self-produced album and debut for Partisan Records, it earned widespread acclaim, with The New York Times praising its “modal vocal phrases and marveling” storytelling, Pitchfork awarding Best New Music (8.7), and MOJO highlighting its richness and extraordinary writing. With The Ground Above, Orton returns with renewed urgency and conviction.
