A
gig
held at The Canteen
on Thursday 5th February. The event starts at 21:30.
The Brackish are a 4-piece experimental band from Bristol, UK. First formed in 2012, the band have released five albums and will release their sixth in November 2025.
The Brackish sound is characterised by its use of dynamics, long-form composition and improvisation. Face melting heavyness gives way to gentle, spacious soundscapes within a single composition. Kraut-like grooves, polyrhythms, violent melodic statements and psychedelic, freeform improvisation are present in equal measure. Always expressed with a strong emphasis on melody and narrative, aiming to take the listener on journeys of much needed escapism.
