EARTHBALL + CIA DEBUTANTE + SPLIT APEX

Event Information

EARTHBALL are a wild ensemble from Canada, mainly based on Vancouver Island. EarthBall's live shows epitomise their commitment to spontaneous composition, offering audiences a unique experience with each performance. The last two years have seen EarthBall release their debut LP 'It's Yours' and a live album entitled 'Actual Earth Music - Volume 1 & 2' featuring Chris Corsano and Steve Beresford on Upset The Rhythm. This winter they returned with their best effort to date 'Outside Over There’ - a gathering of sound at the forest's edge; where feedback, saxophone screams, and ecstatic vocals dissolve the boundary between chaos and clarity. Perhaps John Olson of Wolf Eyes sums up the album best:

“Outside Over There is an eight-track odyssey that unfolds like a dreamscape, where whispered incantations brush against the shadowy fringes of the cosmos, and wild, Cézanne-inspired rock anthems erupt like geysers of color in the midst of a western warm and wet rain storm… culminating in the sprawling eleven-minute masterpiece, ‘And The Music Shall Untune The Sky,’ aptly dubbed the Earth Crusher. A creation so utterly deconstructed and intertwined with the pulse of nature itself that if AI was called upon to conceive ‘Outside Over There’ anew, it would just spit back, “F.U. in Tree Font”. An enchanting invitation for even the flat-earthers to join the circle, if only just a little.”

CIA DEBUTANTE have reworked the post-punk/experimental kingdoms left behind only to haunt and refurnish them to their own abstract design. Dive deep into the soundtrack of a floating toxic airborne apparition. Lo-fi spirit, spoken word, deconstructed guitar, adventure synths. The duo’s oddly unique vortex of sound and improvisation has led them to play alongside like-minds like The Dead C, Roy Montgomery, The Rebel, Sister Iodine, The Haŕd Quartet, Protomartyr and Exek. CIA Debutante have released their four LPs on acclaimed and long running underground treasure trove Siltbreeze Records and toured across Europe several times over, Japan and China.

SPLIT APEX are London-based duo of Jussi Palmusaari and Peter Blundell, who've previously played in groups such as Preseens (Finland) and Mosquitoes (UK), together they trade weirdo song-shaped vistas that caress the curvature of some barren zone inside your head. Their debut album 'Thoughts in 3D' was released at the tail of this last year on Ever/Never Records and has been described by Matt Korvette (Yellow Green Red) as 'exquisitely reduced, with only the strangest and most potent elements given full reign'.
