Wed 21st Let's Go Baboon presents BRACKEN + SJ Esau + Gareth S. Brown + DJ Buddy Peace
Doors 8.00 Let's Go Baboon present another evening of fine music. Witness: New venture from Hood main man Chris Adams is Braken. The glorious debut, ‘We Know About The Need’ (released on Anticon 12th February), mixes claustrophobic electronica, dubbed out experimentation and darkly beautiful melodies, forging a path somewhere between Boards of Canada, Third Eye Foundation and Hood. Bracken walks that rarely tread turf between the electronic and the organic, where complex arrangements sound free and easy. "Pick of the bunch is 'Fight or Flight' whose frazzled luminosity betrays an affection for both the Durutti Column and The Beta Band." [Uncut] Main support is SJ Esau, a glittering collage of experimental pop which builds, skips then splinters across the feted lands of Beach Boys, Jim O’ Rourke & Why? whilst remaining perfectly unique. New album ’Wrong Faced Cat Feed Collapse’ is released by Anticon, February 22nd "So sweetly wonderful... so incredibly homemade and so brave for letting you see exactly how they put everything together, no magic, which of course was all the magic they needed." [Plan B] Opener Gareth S. Brown creates vividly autumnal, enchanted soundscapes through the prism of glockenspiel fuelled electronica. Influenced by Eastern European folk music, funeral marches and jewellery boxes, ‘Iron Henry’ (released on Misplaced Music January 22nd) is a gorgeous work of layered beauty with nods towards Philip Glass, Terry Riley, Michael Nyman, Max Richter and Aphex Twin. "It is very beautiful, very epic and needs to be listened to repeatedly." [Sandman] "A fragile beauty, so secret its kept in a box but when its allowed out it twinkles like the stars." [I’d Rather Be Fat then Confused]
And before and between and after all that we've a DJ set courtesy of Budy Peace. |
