The Louisiana

Sell out warning! Torpor sit at the unearthly apex of post-metal, doom and sludge - seismic bass rumbles, melancholic ambience, bleak spoken word, crushing noise, monumental riffs moving at a glacial pace. This is music for watching planets implode. For fans of: Conan, Neurosis, Aerosol Jesus, Thou, Divide and Dissolve. TORPOR + HOST BODY + WARREN SCHOENBRIGHT at The Louisiana.

The audio equivalent of flicking through a year’s worth of National Geographics - Floating World Pictures fills you with the calming ambient beauty of the planet. Fourth world soundscapes full of field recordings, embracing drones, birdsong and textural wonders. Guaranteed tranquillity for fans of Laraaji, Brian Eno, Gigi Masin, Bing & Ruth, Koyaanisqatsi. Floating World Pictures playing live with Ocean Moon (live set)

Cellar Door’s latest extra spooky audiovisual showcase is an absolute glut of London/Brighton/Bristol talent, with a 5 band bill and 28 members between them (someone buy the sound engineer a beer) - headed up by fidgety weirdo art rock/power pop from Green Man Rising faves The Orchestra (For Now). FFO: Black Country New Road, black midi, Jackie O Motherfucker. HALLOWEEN SPECIAL

Jazz-pop perfection somewhere between St Vincent, Feist and Hiatus Kayote, Stevie Toddler’s grooving bass and unforgettable melodies float her gracefully to the top echelons of Bristol’s nu-jazz scene. For starters: Lawi Anywar spellbinds with his hypnotically heavy brand of shoegaze-funk, like a math-rock Yves Tumour. Stevie Toddler + Lawi Anywar

Superlative Americana triple bill with Dylan Earl’s Arkansas-brewed baritone croon preaching outlaw honkytonk melancholy moulded from the dirt around him + Chris Acker’s NOLA ramshackle folksy troubadour charm. Totally unmissable FFO: Merle Haggard, Nick Shoulders, Bob Dylan, Sam Doores. Dylan Earl is a post-country / countrypolitan / twangcore songwriter from the Ozarks in Arkansas.
