This Month's Lineup
-
A Middle Sex
"A Middle Sex are a trio from Manchester. Here they weave together marathon syncopated drumming, choral singing with static drones and voices that float in through the cracks and join the party of stalactites above. Bookended by sunburned guitar and swirls of ecstatic vocals, you might just dream about the lions again. 'Unclean Yawn' drifts between bleached visions of distant 'pop' music and nauseating, nerve-fried habitats.
Temperatures grapple their way through 16 minutes of enveloping decay in 'Bifurcation'. Weirdo vocals loop themselves into a rage of gin and pain killers before riding the wet concrete wave of total abyss. Overblown electronics and submerged bass dance to the death with drums that carousel and alternate in deep, sparse rhythm and finally implode in a heads down, rifle-fire free work out."

AVIFLORAE [Part Wild Horses Mane On Both Sides]
Part Wild Horses Mane On Both Sides ajoin forces with Acrid Lactations (Smear Campaign, Head Effort) to form a smooth fusion quartet. Expect a progressive cocktail of deep funk freak outs, white noise washouts and ecstatic fire music modes.
"Flautist Kelly Jones performance veers seamlessly from Anthony Braxton styled free playing to a haunted elongated droning style akin to Isnaj Dui. Pascal Nichols, the percussive element of the duo, splatters sporadically in a fractured rainfall, faintly disrupting proceedings to begin with, then forcefully propelling the musical structure into steadier rhythms. This primitive structure is forced in amplified rackets via free jazz techniques and improvisation, evocative of artists Chris Corsano and Alex Neilson."

Lonely Woman
A band formed by members from Burnst, FTSE100 & NASDAQ. Mixed bag of instrumentals not entirely unlike Tortoise.
