ROWF! ROWF! ROWF! starring MV&EE with The Home Comfort Sound System

Event information

The Golden Lab Records festival of exploratory, celebratory, ecstatic music is back after a hiatus of more than two years. Open your third eye with...

MV & EE WITH THE HOME COMFORT SOUND SYSTEM (Woodsist/Ecstatic Peace)

A spectral cinematic show from the visionary American free-folk duo. Blending and bending acoustic folk jams with rock and psych, the Vermont-based couple of Matt 'MV' Valentine and Erika 'EE' Elder graze upon the fields laid down by The Grateful Dead and Gene Clark, and swim in the depths with Loren Connors and The Dead C. They have created a body of work that has warmed many a soul through nigh on 200 releases and thousands of exploratory live shows.

AMEN DUNES (Brooklyn, NY - Sacred Bones)

"immediately evokes inner-space travelers like Syd Barrett, Roky Erickson, and Skip Spence." - Pitchfork

Celebrated solo project of Brooklyn resident Damon McMahon whose work straddles the dissonant, spectral early work of Royal Trux and '80s/'90s New Zealand visionary Peter Jeffries. Beautiful, gnarled, haunting and absolutely essential.

DAGORA - Experimental improvised ensemble from Amsterdam. Two drummers and Peter Quistgard circuit bending kids' toys, keyboards and synths, other home-made instruments... Heavy wash of cymbals and crazy drums combined echoed vocals and loads of space sounds.
