SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2017 MERCURY MUSIC PRIZE Let Them Eat Chaos,
Kae Tempest's new long poem written for live performance and heard
on the album release of the same name, is both a powerful sermon
and a moving play for voices. Seven neighbours inhabit the same
London street, but are all unknown to each other. The clock freezes
in the small hours, and, one by one, we see directly into their
lives: lives that are damaged, disenfranchised, lonely, broken,
addicted, and all, apparently, without hope. Then a great storm
breaks over London, and brings them out into the night to face each
other - and their last chance to connect. Tempest argues that our
alienation from one another has bred a terrible indifference to our
own fate, but they counters this with a plea to challenge the
forces of greed which have conspired to divide us, and mend the
broken home of our own planet while we still have time. Let Them
Eat Chaos is a cri de coeur and a call to action, and, both on the
page and in Tempest's electric performance, one of the most
powerful poetic statements of the year.
