Sudan Archives, born Brittney Parks, contains multitudes. She first emerged as an avant-garde violinist who channeled her playing through loop pedals. But she’s also much more than that: lovelorn songwriter, powerful vocal performer, and experimental beatmaker. She’s captivated audiences at festivals around the world with her hybrid sound, playing at Coachella, Pitchfork, Lollapalooza, and more. Her most recent album, Natural Brown Prom Queen, was released in September 2022 to immense critical acclaim, including Best New Music from Pitchfork and the #2 Best Album of 2022 from the New York Times.
