Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Produced by members of The Comet is Coming, expect a barrage of freeform tri-ballastic percussion colliding with cyclical, trance-inducing sax skronk. Crucial listening for fans of contemporary jazz such as Colin Stetson, Melt Yourself Down & Sons of Kemet etc."

Run Logan Run is a head on collision of pounding tribal drums and screaming guttural saxophone. Architects of intense contrast, the duo’s diverse and precise instrumentation regularly flirts with fragility and raw power.
‘The Delicate Balance Of Terror’ was produced by Danalogue & Betamax (The Comet Is Coming) and is filled with contemplative deep jazz moments lodged in cyclic hypnotic trances, which are pushed to their very limits by ruthless drum sections.
The night will also feature a debut screening of The DBT Trilogy, shot and directed by Chris Lucas.

The second album ‘Last Things Last’ was recorded at Bunker Studios in Brooklyn. This project features leading improvisers Steve Cardenas, Allison Miller, Kirk Knufke and Michael Blake.

YAMA WARASHI
https://stolenbodyrecords.bandcamp.com/album/moon-egg
www.yamawarashi.com
Aka Bristol-based Japanese artist Yoshino Shigihara with eclectic band members. Her music has a dreamy evocative sound with a shadow of moon cake, inspired by Japanese folk dance music, Bon Odori(盆踊り), free jazz and African music with a slice of electric psychedelia. Yoshino plays keyboard, percussions and sings songs in her mother tongue about mycelium, nuclear power staion and broken O.
Yama Warashi (山童) means a small child-like spirit which lives in the mountains.
