Psychedelic vanguards and misfit maestros of Bristol's BLOOM music collective,
THE BRACKISH are an audacious all-star assembly of guitarists Luke Cawthra
(Phantom LimbThe Naim Label) and Neil Smith (This Is The Kit – Rough Trade),
drummer Matt Jones (ZunZun Egui – Bella Union) and Port Erin bassist, Jacob
Tyghe.

Their debut album, 2014's Big Guys (Lava Thief), righteously filled a
kaleidoscopic void in instrumental music and along with 2016's follow up album,
Liquid Of Choice (Bad Elephant Music), the band gained an infamous reputation
for their awe-inspiring live shows across the European and UK art rock scene,
including the La Ferme Électrique and ArcTanGent festivals.

Fantastic Stranger is an explosive Sax Trio, boasting ferocious riffs and tender melodies
with a hefty dose of improvisation. Fittingly under the ever- expanding umbrella of UK
jazz, Fantastic Stranger aren’t afraid to get their feet wet, stepping out into post- rock,
trip- hop and everything in between. Ollie Grant’s (drums) original compositions are
complemented by the versatility of Dave Colebourn on saxophone and Zach Bartlett on
bass.
