Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Howling Owl Records presents Sarah Neufeld (Arcade Fire) + Resina + Ocean Floor at The Cube "Neufeld’s often wordless tones flit and float, evoking a soaring bird at times, a sleek yet dangerous orca at others, and a haunting spectral entity of no shape elsewhere." — Consequence of Sound Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GjWAqMvnxc Tickets: http://hdfst.uk/E34531 (£9 + 50p)"

FULL LINE UP OF ABSOLUTE EXCELLENCE ANNOUNCED
Going to be a real special one this. A 'one chancer' etc.

"Neufeld’s focused, restless recordings invite the listener to share in the intensity of her ritual as a performer, creating a necessary and refreshing air of intimacy." - Pitchfork
RESINA (PL)
"Sitting seamlessly alongside the likes of Max Richer, Hauschka, Dustin O'Halloran and Johann Johannsson is no mean feat. In fact Resina adds a level which even those guys don't reach. Her compositions contain an essence of humanity which is unlike almost all music... utterly captivating." THE 405

OCEAN FLOOR
Ocean Floor is Aounghus Reidy. Originally hailing from Gallway, Ireland, he creates compositions for synthesiser and organ that have a timeless, dreamlike feel. A sense of space and minimalism with beautiful, drifting melodies woven within; a heartbreaking melancholic sliver at the best of times, in the vein of the Nils Frahm or Lubimyr Melnyk.
