Milkweed + Bell Lungs

Event information

Described by others as "disturbing, fascinating", and by themselves as "slacker-trad", it's plain to see that an evening with Milkweed will not be one spent in vain! This London-based experimental folk duo (voice, banjo & guitar) are visiting Edinburgh as part of their summer tour, and we're very lucky to have them! Their songs are summoned from the deepest rattlesnake pit of folk, reinvigorating the past's worn tongue of tradition with the markers of modern sonic experimentation. None other than Britain's best taste-maker The Quietus said: "There is a very real possibility that Milkweed are making the most interesting, most unsettling, most wonderful folk music around. Worth unearthing."

Support comes from the genre-defiant vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Bell Lungs, and a crystalline local act who for very important reasons we are unable to announce until nearer the time, but trust us, this night will be a night divine for any lover of strange, new, meandering, figurative, weird folk from the post-nuclear world.
