Golden Diskó Ship
Golden Diskó Ship (Theresa Stroetges) is a Berlin based musician named after a golden ship found rotting around the harbour of Reykjavík. We’re delighted to have her back over in Leeds as part of her second UK tour.
She combines a mass of instruments and found objects (guitars, viola, glockenspiel, sticky tape, compact disc cases, toys…) together with perfectly crafted laptop electronica to form a world of beautiful, original and individual music - “…dreamy, experimental folk electronica that sounds like walking on the beach with the sun in your eyes.”
“If Four Tet disfiguiring the dreamy outpourings of vintage troubadours or an organically uncluttered singer-songwriter bitten by the techno bug sounds like an attractive prospect, the Packhorse is the place to be…” - Yorkshire Evening Post
The Declining Winter
The Declining Winter is the musical project of Richard Vincent Adams of Leeds UK, the co-founder of the continuing group Hood and a full time stricken office worker. What does it sound like? Richard says “cassette tapes spilling out of the glovebox of a 1970’s Datsun Sunny somewhere in the north of England, captured on Super 8 film”. He’s not far off. Live he is joined by a few more people to bring the beautiful pastoral feel to life. Wonderful stuff.
“…reminicent of Hood it may well be, but its also an intriguing leap further into electronic pulses, endless loops and jarring discordance. Where Hood are majestic, The Declining Winter is edgy, disturbing and anxious. And what is Adams anxious about? Well amongst other things the environment. If you purchase this record itr comes wrapped in recycled materials - old unsold records, unwanted packaging and unused photos. Thats what I call music with a conscience.” Sandman
Hands and Fingers
Hands and Fingers (aka Stephen Hitchen, aka 1/3 of Bracken) makes minimally gorgeous cerebral music. He mixes samples, acoustic guitars, glockenspiel and ambient atmospheres with drum breaks that have been described as “Tortoise having a fight with Four Tet in the dark, with John Bonham trying to split them up”. It’s ace. Oh yes!
