Our recent recommendations for Strange Brew
Sell out warning! It’s been ten years since we fell head-over-heels for the stormswept romanticism of Fast Moving Cars. Our devotion to Carla dal Forno’s dusklit art-pop and dubwise post-punk minimalism has only deepened – we’re already swooning in anticipation for the Aussie auteur to hold us in her cinematic noir embrace. Tickets will fly out, don’t deliberate!

Sell out warning! Deadly double billing of gothic croon and club-ready darkwave pulse from two of the best nocturnal operators around. She Past Away’s anthemic gloom and mesmeric Turkish poetry meets Actors new wave synth bounce and irresistible male/female vocal attack in this unbeatable post-modern post-punk romance FFO: Sisters of Mercy, Molchat Doma, Clan of Xymox, Drab Majesty.

Sell out warning! Breakfest for breakfast! Breakfest for lunch! Breakfest for dinner! The loveable slacker rock slingers are ready for another round and by gum, our tastebuds are already tingling, with heavy-duty post-punk supergroup The None, carnivalesque Cornish psych-folkers Blind Yeo, and soft rock master balladeer Polhawan among the early sign ups for this year’s all-day hootenanny.

Sell out warning! Not jazz nor rock nor film music, fans just call it ‘Necks music’: that spine-tingling unwinding of instrumental textures and improvised magic. A once in a lifetime gig for those who’ve never witnessed; for those that have, you can never see the same set twice...

Sell out warning! 2050s beatsmiths will plunder Butcher Brown records, creating an unbroken link that runs from Roy Ayers and Herbie to Dilla, D’Angelo, Erykah and Kendrick. Such is the future-classic force of their sprawling jazz, their snatches of neo-soul and P-funk rap slap, the way they marry bossa groove and smooth Rhodes psych… Butcher ain’t a band, they’re cosmic messengers!
