Lucrecia Dalt presents A Danger to Ourselves with Her Ensemble

Colombian experimental musician Lucrecia Dalt makes her Barbican debut with A Danger to Ourselves (RVNG Intl., 5 Sept 2025), her acclaimed new album. Joined on stage by Her Ensemble who will perform new arrangements alongside Lucrecia on 2 May 2026, the new album will be brought to life in this special show, which is a highlight of the Barbican’s Spring 2026 season.

A Danger to Ourselves marks Dalt’s most personal and sonically ambitious work to date. Where her past albums explored character-based narratives and outer world entanglements, this thirteen-track collection turns decisively inward. Working closely with percussionist Alex Lázaro, the record builds its tension and beauty not through conventional melodic structures but through the dynamic interplay of bass lines, beats and textural details. As the album unfolds, Dalt pushes beyond her earlier lo-fi approaches toward a newfound clarity where both voice and instrument emerge with greater presence and detail.

The album features a rich collaborative cast, with Japan’s David Sylvian joining as co-producer and guitarist on select tracks. Vocal contributions from Juana Molina, Camille Mandoki, and Eliana Joy appear throughout, while the instrumental landscape is shaped by Cyrus Campbell on upright and electric bass and Chris Jonas on saxophone.

“The Colombian musician trades her typically fantastical subject matter for an album steeped in the immediacy of desire. The theme may be universal, but her sounds are as thrillingly out there as ever.” – Pitchfork

Part of NTS 15

Oneohtrix Point Never returns to the Barbican Hall with the UK premiere of his new album Tranquilizer, leading the charge for NTS 15 – the music platform’s week-long 15th anniversary celebrations across London. This special event will feature a live set accompanied by visuals from Freeka Tet.

Whether as musician, composer or producer, Oneohtrix Point Never has constantly merged roles from the outset – from his first release, Betrayed in the Octagon, to his latest film score for the upcoming Marty Supreme. With eleven distinguished studio albums under his belt, he now presents the live iteration of Tranquilizer, his latest record that has garnered all-round critical acclaim.

An accomplished artist moving effortlessly through a wide variety of musical genres, Oneohtrix Point Never is responsible for soundtracks to many films including those from his ongoing collaboration with the Safdie Brothers - Uncut Gems and Good Time, the latter of which he received the Best Soundtrack Award at Cannes Film Festival. He has collaborated with a diverse range of artists including James Blake, Charli XCX, Iggy Pop, Anohni, David Byrne, Nine Inch Nails and The Weeknd.

Oneohtrix Point Never has been an ever-present artist at the heart of music platform NTS’s programming since it was founded by Femi Adeyemi in 2011, making him the perfect artist to lead the announcement of NTS 15: the platform's 15th anniversary, marked by a series of 15 events across one week in London.
