Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Hypnotic post-rock lullabies for the mid-week Crofters crowd - Parachute for Gordo are equal parts experimental, ambient, math-punk and some kind of indefinable aural opiate. God Speed You! Black Emperor, Holy Fuck, Arthur Russell and ESG blissfully colliding. Get there early for noise rock trio Big Pigeon, ft members of jazz/punk cult faves Twisted Ankle (RIP)."

Blowout Presents
- Parachute for Gordo -
Parachute for Gordo are an instrumental Post Rock band based in the cultural capitals of Aldershot, London and Berlin. Since 2012 they have been known for their playful, intimate live shows and an ambitious DIY approach to creating their musical projects.
After having self-produced their previous albums on a shoestring budget, their 2020 album, “Best Understood By Children and Animals” is Gordo’s first foray into a professional studio environment. This new approach has allowed the band to expand their sound in every direction to make something more expansive, intense and more intricate than ever before.
“Best Understood by Children and Animals” comes from a quote by Igor Stravinsky and sums up Parachute For Gordo’s approach to music, delighting in play and experimentation with an emphasis on exploring dynamics beyond language and literal meaning. It is music for the senses, immediate, vital, subconscious.

Big Pigeon | New Bristol trio featuring members of defunct post-punk band Twisted Ankle
Essential Formulas | Instrumental rock band from Bristol.
