WOLF EYES are the USA's
longest-running homemade, primitive, electronic, poetry & radical
vibes trio. They don't just release albums they launch scotched, taped
nuclear audio fronts on humanity. Wolf Eyes dropped a behemoth of a
record last year with 'I Am A Problem: Mind In Pieces' on Jack White's
Third Man Records, but this time they are switching things up in more
ways than one for their forthcoming 'Undertow' album. The Detroit dark
ambient sculptors are launching a new imprint called Lower Floor Music,
and the album will be the first release on the label. The first foray
into the new album is the title track, which is self-described as a
"sea-bottom R&B sound lurch" featuring ambient synth and haunting
spoken vocals. This show acts as an official album launch, celebrating
the release of 'Undertow' into the world.
MUMDANCE has built a reputation
as one of the world’s most inventive DJs and producers, drawing from
sounds from across the world but always putting his own unique spin on
them. His early days as a producer saw him collaborate with big names
from both Europe (Brodinski, Jammer, Skepta) and further afield, such as
Mexican legend Toy Selectah, Brazilian groups Bondo Do Role and Banda
Uó, and later Egyptian mahraganat icon Sadat. In 2013, following a
two-year hiatus from original music, Mumdance released his most
critically acclaimed music to date. His 2013 mixtape Twists & Turns
was named FACT Magazine’s best album of the year, while his
collaborations with Novelist, ‘Take Time’ and ‘1 Sec’ (released on
legendary label XL Recordings), mark two of the biggest anthems from
grime's recent revival, and topped end of year charts from Resident
Advisor, Mixmag, FACT, Dummy, Noisey and more. Recently Mumdance has
also launched Different Circles, his record label with Logos that
specialises in ‘weightless’ - an already-influential combination of
grime, techno, ambient music, sound design and more, and collaborated
with artists such as Micachu, Pinch, AJ Tracey and Nozinja. For this
performance Mumdance will present a new set of modular synth workouts.
GUTTERSNIPE are a Leeds
drums/guitar duo who dive straight into a cauldron of hellish
improv-skronk, paint-stripping abstract noise and nightmarishly
deconstructed sonic catharsis – imagine the esoteric mayhem of Angel
Blood combined with the venue-destroying psychic power of early Boredoms
and Naked City, and you ain’t even close. Comprising the duo of
Xylocopa Violacea and Bdallophytum, if Guttersnipe don’t blow away your
cobwebs, nothing will.

MARY OCHER was born Mariya
Ocheretianskaya in Moscow in 1986, she moved to Israel with her family
at age four, then to Berlin at 20. In 2011 she caught the attention of
the inimitable King Khan at a karaoke bar (he also lives in Berlin), and
she recorded what's still her most recent full-length of new material,
2013's Eden, at his Moon Studios. He's not her only famous fan either:
Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs contributed a quote to Ocher's press kit.
"Mary Ocher gives me the chills," she says. "She frightens me with her
feral soul. Her sound is of a true outsider artist, immaculately
self-possessed". Her DIY roots and anything-goes aesthetic
notwithstanding, Ocher is obviously too well-connected to qualify as an
outsider. Ocher's songs are a diverse bunch ranging from ghostly noise,
sad but jaunty piano ballads, frisky strumming, echoing ersatz funk to
chintzy drum machine workouts with vacuum-cleaner synth. Ocher herself
seems to have as many faces as a vaudeville performer: her multifarious
singing leaps without warning from unhinged keening to warped drawling
or from wobbly muttering to blustery declaiming. Forthcoming album, 'The
West Against The People' has been produced with Faust's Hans Joachim
Irmler and also features tracks with Ocher's drummers (duo Your
Government) as well as collaborations with avant-garde legends Die
Todliche Doris, Felix Kubin and Julia Kent of Rasputina/Antony and The
Johnsons. It's out March 10 on krautrock label Klangbad.
BAMBOO is the sublime project
from Nick Carlisle (of Peepholes, Don't Argue) and Rachel Horwood (of
Trash Kit, Halo Halo). Their music is vivid and deeply poignant, locking
into a magnetic attraction between Rachel's flawlessly resonant folk
cadence and Nick's pristine synth pop production. Bamboo’s second studio
album, The Dragon Flies Away, is due 26th May on Upset The
Rhythm on LP, CD and digitally. Initially released last winter on a
limited run of 50 cassettes with an accompanying zine designed by
Horwood, The Dragon Flies Away tells a story loosely associated with the
Hannya demon mask of Noh theatre plays such as Dojoji, and reflects the
range of emotion the Hannya mask is capable of displaying: obsession,
jealousy, sorrow and rage. ‘The Dragon Flies Away’ presents its story in
two acts and is now presented newly re-mastered with a gatefold sleeve
and lyric / artwork sheet. Horwood’s evocative paintings are given
centre stage with the packaging, allowing the album's story to grow
beyond sound, making the journey all the more immersive.
MOONBOW is the sonic brainchild
of London multimedia artist Eleanor Hardwick. Growing up in the
countryside on the peripheries of one of the UK’s many forgotten
commuter towns, she channels themes of manmade dystopias’ invasion on
natural spheres into her audio and visual artistic output. Such outputs
served as a refuge from growing up in a place where not much happened
and not many people connected with her - whilst cyberspace became both a
platform for connecting with other lost souls, and a window into a
world that she witnessed elsewhere was slowly politically and
environmentally decaying. i-D described her songs as “taking influence
from William Orbit-era Madonna guitar and Kate Bush vocals, brought
right up to date with layers upon layers of synths and glitchy samples”.
