Loose Tongue Presents
Jack Cheshire with support from Andy Skellam
Acclaimed indie artist Jack Cheshire brings his 'dizzying, hypnotic' new album INTERLOPER to the Exchange for a full band show.
'INTERLOPER' is an album about belonging or not belonging and all that entails. Living on an island, aware of this insidious creep toward something ugly, and the people who say 'if you don't like it then leave'. So you wonder; where would I go? If I arrive somewhere new to lay down roots, will I just be displacing the people who are already there? Part of the next wave of gentrification, a proliferation of interlopers jacking up rents and taking over. You're conscious of everything being up for sale, carved up and sold off, accumulated by bad agents; the land owners, the landlords, the profiteers who have been given licence to run amok. You wonder how you can channel your fury at the architects of all this. You wonder what you're made of. You wonder who you are and where you're going.
‘Softly bewitching. As ever, he pulls together the patchwork quilt with charismatic conviction' UNCUT
'Dizzying, hypnotic' Shindig!
‘I fell in love straight away' Cerys Matthews, BBC 6 Music
‘Magical, innovative' The Song Bar
Support from Andy Skellam.
Andy's music has been said to play like a surreal dreamscape, perhaps because it is the product of late nights spent hunched over a guitar beside the glowing embers of a fire whilst everyone sleeps. It has spawned from the dusty corners & dank barns of his feral childhood wedged roughly between welsh mountains and English riverbeds.
'a lovely, somnambulist set of songs about wayward hearts, bluebirds and bloodhounds, made intimate in every soft squeak of its chord changes, the whispery husk of Skellam's voice, and the drawing bows of a cello.'
The Guardian
'a bountiful offering of well-crafted, warmly sung, surreally poetic and calming pastoral folk'
