Tue 13th The Luminaire presents SAROOS + Sarah Nixey + Infantjoy DJ set
Doors 7.30 With members of Lali Puna, Console and Contriva - and often guest appearances by Saam Schlamminger [Chronomad], Max Punktezahl [Jersey/Contriva/The Notwist] and Volker Zander of Calexico - and music released on The Notwist's own label, you're be getting an idea of what to expect from Saroos: An electronic smorgasbord of textured melodies, staccato beats and clearly structured hip-hop rhythms, leaning toward Anticon territory. Sarah Nixey made her show business entrance as one third of the darkly glamorous pop group Black Box Recorder. She was in the severe, dreamy centre, singing scheming songs that were deadly serious about trivia, and deeply frivolous about important matters. She sang the songs as if they were bruised lullabies, as if she was soothing the 20th Century to sleep. "...a heady mixture of love, obsessive weirdoes, [and] philosophical musings about the nature of the universe..." [Stylus magazine] Sarah is now solo. She sings smart pop songs that tell heady, half-crazed stories about minds and bodies, flesh and spirit, memories and illusions, desperation and passion. She sings them on her debut solo album 'Sing, Memory' with that tough, tender combination of explicit English detachment and cryptic European emotion that’s all her own.
“Sing, Memory is as listenable as it is addictively seductive, the perfect soundtrack for when the curtains are drawn and the sheets are black satin.” [musicomh.com] |
