Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Experimental post-rock from local distortion artists GRANDCHILD, whose hot-forged cataclysm soundscapes oscillate between shoegaze-inflected dark ambient and seriously muscular drone. Big trippy textures FFO GY!BE, Bowery Electric, MBV, CAN, Slint, Duster."

Citizens of Nowhere presents...
Grandchild
----------
Cinematic post-rock trio *GRANDCHILD* make music fitting for apocalyptic times. Having appropriately released their debut EP, Pure Drone, at a time when the world was seemingly reaching its end, they have since begun disrupting the live circuit in their hometown of Bristol with their dynamic approach to melding distorted samples, cacophonous drums and sludgy noise rock guitars. With a handful of singles since then (‘Great Gama’, ’Semaphore’, ‘Shimmer’) that have captured the kinetic feel of their shows, the threesome have begun weaving in elements of the drones they were initially making between tracks, to give an ever-morphing feel to their sets.
Noah Radley
-----------
Noah Radley combines vocal loops, guitars, synths and percussion, interpolated by field recordings, to create forward thinking ambient/drone music - using their naturally explorative nature and a wide reaching musical language as a jumping off point to improvise.
Ringtones
---------
Ringtones is a solo blackgaze artist striving for max intensity and feeling in their musical output and curation via their Enter the Noid event series. Having listened to equal measures of emo and drone artists in their formative years, the project looks to marry up these references in an approach which prioritises texture over technique.
