Big Long Sun + Fabio Ferri & Paper Crowns at The Louisiana
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Play guides Brighton octet Big Long Sun’s pocket universe. There’s an understated Arthur Russell-esque eclecticism, which flits from notebook-doodle psychedelia to jingle-worthy steakhouse melodies with total emotional accuracy. Immense FFO: Neon Indian, Of Montreal, The Flaming Lips, The Mountain Goats."

Led by multi-instrumentalist, Jamie Broughton, ‘big long sun’ is an 8-piece art rock band, based in Brighton.
Formed of dynamic multi-disciplinary artists, ‘big long sun’ is a band with many heads and directions. With expressivity at the project’s core, ‘big long sun’ is an exciting, ecstatic experience of noise and feelings.
With influences ranging from the atonal recesses of Sonic Youth, to the oceanic melodies of Arthur Russell, ‘big long sun’ is a rare and refreshing eclectic treasure and experience in a world of repetition.

Support is from local jazz & post-punk inspired six-piece: Paper Crowns, who's dynamic sound and lyrics sway between angst and romanticism.
