Mumbles + Pelts + Aftercare

Event information

Delighted to be hosting this Oxford EP launch show for our eternal faves Mumbles! The band have an amazing new EP out called The Mumbles Book of Hell, which the band call ‘26 minutes of evil, humiliation, and narcolepsy’, and we'll be doing a launch show at Truck Store in Oxford with Pelts from Copenhagen/Malmo and Aftercare from Oxford - will be a great night!

We’re doing affordable basic tickets at £7, a bundle of both the ticket and the tape for £10, and a bigger ‘Full Hellscape’ bundle of ticket for £15, which includes tape, and both accompanying zines - The Mumbles Booklet of Hell and The Mumbles Dream Dictionary, written by Mumbles’ Jacob Nicholas and collaborator Harriet Lander.

Mumbles’ new EP The Mumbles Book of Hell rampages through the personal and political, finding heartbreak in world crisis and utopia in friendships. Recorded live, these five songs capture the carnage of the group’s famously feral gigs, a savage and yearning map covering everything from bass-clarinet driven doom to fractured slowcore, spasmodic postpunk to hurdy-gurdy ambience. FFO Deerhoof, Squid, Olivier Messiaen, Yo La Tengo, Sunn O))), early music, Claire Rousay, Melt-Banana, Horse Lords etc.

Pelts are a new post punk outfit from Denmark/Sweden featuring Eilidh (Molar & Dirtygirl), Louise (Charla Fantasma, PAMs, Hook Jaw & Enids) & Cat (Fever Dream, Enids & Esiotrot). Aftercare are a brand new shoegaze rock band, basically birthed by Truck Store itself. Top quality lineup for a top night!

FYI the show is all ages, and is street level with a couple of small steps.
