Jason Dungan’s Blue Lake quartet creates gorgeous pastoral minimalism with zither drones, woodwind sketches and sun-bleached rhythms drifting in quietly ecstatic loops. On support: cerebral one-man chamber jazz ensemble Memotone and Eva May’s choir-haunted lullabies. Soft-focus spiritualism FFO: William Tyler, Astrid Sonne, Laraaji.

Sell out warning! Fog rolls into Strange Brew for the return of Maria Somerville... her full-band set promises the spectral braid of folk, dream-gaze, and star-smeared pop she’s refined into a kind of sonic weather. These tickets will move fast; unmissable future icon FFO: Cocteau Twins, Broadcast, Mazzy Star, Julianna Barwick.
Maria Somerville + Nashpaints + special guests at Strange Brew.
Sell out warning! Kaleidoscopic, folkloric, synthpop siren songs: Mermaid Chunky’s whimsical world is a gleefully eccentric and precious pearl to behold. The duo – whose previous gig resumé includes soundtracking the wedding of 2 porcelain pooches – return to the Brew with a fresh batch of absurdist fever-dream magic.

More avant-garde magic from Copenhagen's ceaseless musical wellspring … Fine’s off-kilter singer-songwriting and collaborations with fellow power-Danes (inc Astrid Sonne and Erika de Casier) have launched her to cult status in just a few years. Tender, moody 90s alt-rock meets electronic bedroom pop, full of country murmurs and sleepy strangeness FFO: Mazzy Star, Why Bonnie, Maria BC, ML Buch.
