Divine Schism presents
Happy to be bringing Lifter and Swelt to Oxford as they embark on a UK tour to celebrate new releases this autumn.
Lo-fi indie folk group LIFTER are releasing their first album ‘Clasping Hands with the Moribund’ this October. Having released eight singles between 2021 and 2023, and later compiling them as mini- album Everything So Far in September last year, ‘Clasping Hands…’ marks an introduction to the various styles the band have strived to incorporate in their recent releases. With the lineup on the tracks consisting of the core duo of the group, with former Modern Rituals guitarist Harry Fanshawe and bassist and producer Miles Ward, the band were joined on the recording of these tracks by The Death of Pop co-leader Angus James, Swelt guitarist Chris Hicks, cellists Douglas Evans and Anna Strudwick, violinist Reuben Brunt, backing vocalist Olive Featherstone, cornet player Harry Furniss, and drummers Steven Fry and Oliver Cocup.
Swelt weave tapestries of sparse, melancholic compositions, swelt meld influences of folk, slowcore and post-rock. The four-piece, composed of members of Talons, Repo Man and Iceman Furniss Quintet, formed in Bristol in 2020 and spent the next two years writing and playing intimate shows around the city.
Gonna be a beauty!
