Irene Serra’s ISQ : “The Silence is Deafening” (Album Launch Show)

To celebrate the release of her highly anticipated new album The Silence is Deafening, acclaimed vocalist and songwriter ISQ (Irene Serra) comes to Crazy Coqs for one special launch night alongside a stellar band featuring Luca Boscagin on guitar, Richard Sadler on bass and Chris Nickolls on drums.

Blending cinematic alternative pop, jazz, electronic textures and melodic improvisation, ISQ creates an immersive live experience that is both intimate and electrifying. The new album explores themes of identity, womanhood, resilience, displacement and human connection through evocative songwriting, lush harmonies and atmospheric soundscapes.

Expect soaring vocals, haunting melodies, powerful musicianship and moments of complete unpredictability from one of the UK’s most distinctive crossover acts.

A bold, emotionally charged evening celebrating the release of ISQ’s fifth studio album.
