Headfirst Editor's Pick
"The triumphant ascension of post-folk post-rockers Quade was inevitable. Their second slab of wax for uber tastemakers AD 93 (Coby Sey, Moin etc) conjures a sacred soundworld akin to Slint playing a Deadwood funeral, or Talk Talk’s long lost Warren Ellis collab. They’re perfectly paired with Jasmine Wood’s post-classical reverb dreams for an evening of pastoral longing and sullen beauty."

Strange Brew presents
Quade (AD93, Bristol)
Jasmine Wood (AD93, USA / Dublin)
Tuesday 30th August
7pm - 10pm
Bristol's much-cherished ambassadors of “doomer sad-boy, ambient dub, folk, experimental post-rock” join forces with AD93 labelmate Jasmine Wood (USA). Combining analog instruments with electronic manipulation, merging indie, shoegaze, electronic, experimental and modern classical.
Quade are Barney Matthews (Bass, Vocals), Matt Griffiths (Hardware), Tom Connolly (Violin/Guitar) and Le Fini (Drums), four musicians from Bristol. Signed to the influential AD 93 label the group semi-jokingly describe their sound as “doomer sad-boy, ambient dub, folk, experimental post-rock”. The band released debut album ’Nacre’ in 2023 and found support from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Mary Ann Hobbs and Trevor Jackson. Of Nacre Bandcamp Daily said “Quade’s formula (or , perhaps, lack thereof) is ultimately singular and casually baffling” . They have subsequently supported Moin, Squid and Caroline as well as perform at festivals such as Re:Wire and Arctangent. 2025 sees them release their second album The Foel Tower.
Jasmine Wood is an American composer, producer and singer-songwriter based in Dublin, Ireland. Wood initially developed her craft within the Pacific Northwest DIY scene, curating all-ages venues in her hometown Portland, Oregon, while writing and performing under the monikers ‘Haste’ and 'Lota Leona'. Wood combines the use of analog instruments with electronic manipulation, incorporating her love of noise and distortion. As a multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, Wood’s distinct style envelops a range of sound spanning from indie-rock and shoegaze to electronic, experimental and modern-classical. 'Piano Reverb' is Jasmine’s fourth musical release and marks her debut album under her own name with London based record label AD 93.
