Crushing Death & Grief

WOLF EYES
Thrilled to bring psycho jazz titans and contemporary memelords Wolf Eyes back to Cambridge for the first time in nearly two decades. Now a duo of John Olson and Nate Young, over nearly 30 years Wolf Eyes have laid waste to the American midwest and beyond with a dizzying range of punishing noise, alien soundscapes, warped blues, grindhouse ambient, power psyche, and new age skronk. Over a crushingly vast discography of lathe cuts, CDrs, handmade tapes, and the occasional “regular” release, they’ve pushed instruments and listeners to the limit, frying circuits and minds in equal, incalculable numbers. Always ingenious, always inscrutable, always revelatory, Wolf Eyes are consistently essential but never predictable. True underground DIY heroes of our age!

LOULA YORKE
A composer and improviser, primarily working with modular synthesiser, Loula Yorke takes a discrete and deliberately meditative approach to electronic sounds, creating fluid, kaleidoscopic works in the liminal space between personal and political. Winner of a prestigious Oram award in 2020, Suffolk-based Yorke takes a monastic, meticulous methodology to her own work, whilst extending her practice outwards running workshops such as the femme-centred synth-building workshop, Atari Punk Girls.

WELKIN
Welkin play with elemental forces. Named for the vault of heaven, the group encompasses a deeply textured and constantly evolving sound. Between them, Dominic Lash and N.O. Moore (guitars) and Dave Fowler (drums) have collaborated with the likes of Tony Conrad, Eddie Prévost, and Adam Bohman. A trio of improvisers, they utilise the language of sonic heaviness to enlighten the sky, drawing on a tradition that runs from Blue Cheer to Fushitshusha to SUMAC and beyond.
