Mary Ocher | "Weimar" Berlin Piano album release show + panel talk
2026-03-13 18:30 - 21:30 (Europe/Berlin) | Galiläa-Kirche Berlin
Adventurous Berlin artist Mary Ocher returns with a surprising piano record, “Weimar”, her most intimate record to date, released the same day as the album’s one-off Berlin homecoming show (13.3), followed by dates in the UK and all over Europe.
Written on a classic instrument from the 1870s, marking a departure from experimentation with post-punk, folk, ambient and field recordings.
“Weimar” draws on 20th-century minimalism, chamber-pop, and modern classical. Yet it remains unmistakably Ocher, thoughtful and grounded in emotional depth. The title “Weimar” alludes to the current era, echoing the fall of the Weimar Republic a century ago and the shadow of fascism that rose in its wake.
Following extensive touring across Europe, the UK, Australia, North America and New Zealand, and a catalog celebrated by The Quietus, The Wire, TAZ, Fader, Paste, Libération, and others, Ocher stands at a pivotal moment. As nationalism, censorship, and cultural fragmentation rise the world over, her examinations of identity, fear, and belonging feel absolutely essential.
The show features a special guest, and a panel on individual freedoms and censorship in the past 100 years vs today.
The first Single/Video “The Dance” (Release date 8.1.2025):

8MM & Shameless/Limitless Present: Farao (Oslo)
2026-02-26 19:00 - 22:00 | 8MM Bar
8MM & Shameless/Limitless proudly present Oslo’s pure-o purveyor of magical thinking, Farao.
—
The bio:
Farao is the musical alter ego of Norwegian producer and vocalist Kari Jahnsen, who crafts a lush sonic realm where smooth 90s R&B, sensual 80s disco, ambient spiritual jazz, and shimmering layers of zithers intertwine – imagine Janet Jackson meets Alice Coltrane. Having captivated crowds at Roskilde, SXSW, Øya, and Green Man, Farao’s live performance draws audiences into a dreamlike, rhythmic landscape.
‘Magical Thinking’, Farao’s third studio album, was released November 2024 and includes a collaboration with ambient pioneer Laraaji. The record is a layered exploration of loss, longing, and hope. Rooted in the title and spirit of Joan Didion’s ‘The Year of Magical Thinking’, the record moves through the space between denial and acceptance.
Since her last solo album, Farao co-founded and released two critically acclaimed records with disco duo Ultraflex, winning Best Electronic Album at the Icelandic Music Awards – all while navigating the profound life transition of becoming a mother to two children.
Recognised by Pitchfork, The New York Times, Clash, and The Line of Best Fit, Farao has performed at Roskilde, SXSW, Øya, and Green Man.

Look Up Here: Bowie, 10 Years On - Remembering Bowie's Berlin Legacy
2026-02-12 19:00 - 21:00 | Warschauer Straße 74,Berlin,10243,DE
Join writers Rory MacLean (Berlin: Imagine a City) & Demi Anter for an intimate performance/conversation in celebration of David Bowie.
In 1977, a Canadian wannabe filmmaker travels to West Berlin for the job of a lifetime: working with David Bowie on the set of Just a Gigolo .
In 2016, days after Bowie’s passing, a fresh-faced Californian poet lands in the capital city and quickly finds she can’t escape her favorite musician’s legacy.
In 2026, writers (and adopted Berliners) Rory MacLean and Demi Anter join forces for a special double act. Together they honor Bowie’s iconic Berlin era, and reflect on how his journey through the city influenced their own.
Join us for an intimate evening of conversation and readings at Shakespeare & Sons Bookstore in Friedrichshain.
Space is limited, early booking is encouraged. Books and drinks will be available for purchase. Suitable for all ages.
About the speakers:
Former Berlin resident Rory MacLean worked with both Bowie and Marlene Dietrich, and his books — which have been translated into a dozen languages — include UK top ten Stalin’s Nose , Under the Dragon and Berlin: Imagine a City , “the most extraordinary work of history I’ve ever read” said the Washington Post.
California-native and Berlinerin since 2016, Demi Anter is an extensively touring poet and creative writing facilitator, with appearances at Glastonbury Festival, Edinburgh Fringe, Poetry Ireland, the Scottish Storytelling Centre, WABE and more. She regularly teaches on the subject of contemporary Berlin literature, and facilitates workshops for London’s Irish Cultural Centre, the National Theatre and others.
Rory and Demi debuted “Bowie in Berlin” — a performance and discussion of the creative icon and his Berlin sojourn — at the sold-out, inaugural Sherborne Travel Writing Festival (UK) in 2023. This is their first performance together in Berlin.

Lydia Lunch's Big Sexy Noise / Mellowdeath live at Neue Zukunft, Berlin
2026-02-08 19:00 - 22:00 | Neue Zukunft
Positive Transmitter & Crunch Tapes present:
Lydia Lunch’s Big Sexy Noise live at Neue Zukunft, Berlin
8 February 2026
Doors: 19:00 / Show: 20:00
Lydia Lunch returns — louder, dirtier, and more gloriously unhinged than ever.
Her cult project Big Sexy Noise, featuring James Johnston (Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, Faust) and Ian White (Barry Adamson, Gallon Drunk), rises again to prove that real rock is still alive — feral, sweaty, and defiantly raunchy.
Forged in the fires of New York’s no wave scene, Big Sexy Noise tears apart the blues-soaked muscle of 70s heavy rock, flipping every cliché with brutal joy. Johnston’s molten guitar eruptions, White’s sinfully grooving shuffle, and Lunch’s unmistakable venomous snarl collide into a sound that is both primal and perversely ecstatic — a dirty, sacred, unstoppable force.
In January 2026, In The Red Records (USA) teams up with Forte Distribution (UK) and Konkurrent (NL) to release the band’s new album Big Sexy Noise — Live in Italy: a fierce, fearless, “balls-to-the-wall” rock monsterpiece capturing the group at their most explosive.
To celebrate the release, Big Sexy Noise reunite for a rare run of UK and European shows — and Berlin gets one of the very few chances to witness this sonic maelstrom up close.
Critics have already hailed the band’s return as a blast of raw, unapologetic power, praising their ability to deliver rock with sweat, swagger, and sin — the way it was always meant to be.
Now Berlin’s Neue Zukunft becomes the next battleground. Prepare yourself. Big Sexy Noise are back to tear the night wide open.
Support: Mellowdeath
Mellowdeath is an instrumental nightmare jazz duo featuring Sara Neidorf (Sarattma, Mad Kate The Tide) on drums and Isabel Merten (No Chronicles) on bass. The duo sends the listener on a haunted hay ride through hypnotic rhythms, ghost surf, and dirges fit for a clown’s funeral. They will release their debut s/t full-length in November 2025.

SKI, TRAS, Dead Zeppelins & Moniker Eggplant at Supamolly
2026-02-06 21:30 - 2026-02-07 00:30 | Supamolly
SKI
Founded in 2022, SKI is the solo project of Damian Kowalski, evolving from its afro-jazz roots into minimalist, intensely amplified arrangements with subtle modulations. Originally conceived as part of larger musical collaborations with KKZ and Rozwód, these ideas have developed into the foundation for independent compositions.
A breakthrough moment came with the recording of the first album, soon to be released by Pointless Geometry. The music blends danceable rhythms with raw, grainy textures, embracing uncompromising creativity that captivates listeners. The production process focused on capturing the organic nature of playing an amplified drum kit—without metronomes or overdubs—resulting in a hypnotic yet expressive sound.
SKI’s music echoes influences from UK bass, UK dub, footwork, and techno, yet remains direct and fresh, avoiding pretentiousness and focusing on groove and the relationship between rhythm and feedback.
https://pointless-geometry.bandcamp.com/album/ski-kre
TRAS
are TERESA RIEMANN & ASJA SKRINIK -> Crackling circuits, throbbing drums, alien choirs hum in the void.
A lone rough ride through endless dust, where the wind howls sharp,
water whispers scarcity, and the gas needle trembles.
Mind and pulse unravel in harm,
the costume of nerves slips.
The road bends reckless — no brakes, no fear.

Spider Piece
2026-02-06 18:00 - 2026-02-15 19:00 | Reuterstr. 31, 12047 Berlin, Germany
„She traps things in her web; she embroiders her tiny corner of the universe“
(Rachel Cusk, Louise Bourgeois: Suites on Fabric, 2019)
Miia Rinne, Mirka Raito, Gosia Machon, Niina Lehtonen Braun, Piia Rinne, Alice Chauchat
February 6–15, 2026
HilbertRaum, Berlin
Opening: Friday, February 6, 2026, 6–10 pm
with the live installation River Eye by Piia Rinne & Miia Rinne
Dance piece: Alice Chauchat, Sunday, February 8, 5 pm
Finissage / Sunday Salon: Sunday, February 15, 2026, 4–7 pm
SPIDER PIECE brings together installative, painterly, performative, and musical works that thread through the space like strands of a web. The exhibition sees the spider not merely as a metaphor, but as a model of thinking and perception; an entity that embodies both productivity and captivity, care and control, sensitivity and ambivalence.
The pieces respond differently to recurrent motifs throughout art history—specifically the work of Louise Bourgeois—such as: the duality of motherhood, corporeality, and artistic labour. The spider is industrious, precise, enduring; it weaves structures out of itself that are at once shield, archive, and trap. It remains bound to one place, yet perceives its surroundings with the utmost attention.
The participating artists contribute to the spider’s lexicon without defining it absolutely. Their works move between intimacy and display, between inner sensations and outer structures. Here, perception is not a stable state, but something fragile and fluctuating—a constant spinning, loosening, and repairing.
Miia Rinne develops a new installation for HilbertRaum that draws together elements of her earlier work Trapeze Net and extends them further atmospherically. Sound, moving images, and space interlock; audio material from C-cassettes becomes experienceable via headphones. Perception here becomes bodily, selective, and unreliable—a fabric of memory, repetition, and disturbance.
Mirka Raito’s pieces consider the phenomenon of ASMR: that difficult-to-describe tingling that can be triggered by whispering, rustling, or observing highly concentrated activities. In her work she examines ASMR as a threshold experience between space, body, and attention—between gently rushing past euphoria. Drawings, objects, and connective elements stretch into a quiet, charged installation.
Gosia Machon presents small-format works on paper in which psychological states, body images, and natural scenes overlap. Her images appear at once open and condensed—like mental landscapes in which desire, secrecy, and reverence permeate one another.
Niina Lehtonen Braun develops an installative arrangement of collages, objects, painting, and stop-motion animation. The works unfold as a spatial narrative of images, notes, and associations in which layers, ruptures, and repetitions negotiate corporeality and experience.
The exhibition is further expanded through a series of performative interventions:
At the opening on 6 Feb, Miia Rinne and Piia Rinne show a joint sound-video performance in which analogue cassette sounds, tape loops, and video material are live-woven together.
On Sunday, 8 Feb, Alice Chauchat performs a solo dance piece within the exhibition—a bodily engagement with space, time, and attention that temporarily sets the assembly of works in motion.
SPIDER PIECE understands the exhibition space as a living structure: a place in which artistic processes, bodies, sounds, and images touch, become entangled, and loosen again. A web that does not so much capture as make visible.

Neu Berlin Institute of Improvised Music Vol. 35
2026-02-04 19:00 - 22:00 | Kühlspot Social Club
35th session of “Neu Berlin Institute of Improvised Music”:
At the celebrated Kühlspot The I n s t i t u t e is hosting a new improvisational session.
We welcome you!
In this case the opening group will be:
Dima Svist – electronics
Ali Onur Olgun – tenor saxophone
Peter Balhar – drums
Zeynep Ayse Hatipoglu – cello
After the opening group there will be put together sessions by the curator.
Doors :19:00h, Concert starts 19:30h
Mission: By bringing together different practices of improvisation, we strive to open up the often isolated situation of music scenes to each other and prevent a structural conservatism that exists in the field of improvisation. We focus on connecting and learning from all different genres and subsidiaries. Encouraging people from different musical backgrounds and contexts to interact with each other and create a curated framework for immediate composition in a live setting. Because we believe that improvisation can mean lifelong musical learning, we want to view its ongoing practice and performance as an opportunity for the development of ones “voice” and to create a regular offering for musicians* to keep trying themselves out in this laboratory and working community. We hope that in this way we can contribute to spreading this common respect for each other and the different approaches to improvisation in all of our respective “scenes” and enable fresh perspectives. The idea is not new, of course, but we want to perceive it anew. In our case we take the name away from an institution that was founded in Vienna in 2005 under the name “The Neu New York/Vienna Institute of Improvised Music” by the now deceased saxophonist Marco Eneidi and still exists as “Monday Improvisers Session” in Vienna. A warm invitation to you, if you feel addressed, and if you want to join this process as a listener!

The Macks are a dynamic Portland, Oregon rock band formed in 2015, known for their raw, heavy sound blending blues, thrash, and garage rock, featuring brothers Ben & Josef Windheim, Sam Fulwiler, Jacob Michael Perris, and Aidan Harrison. They gained acclaim as “Portland’s Best New Band” with albums like Rabbit and Dajiban, building a reputation for “walloping heaviosity” and energetic live shows, and are releasing Bonanza in late 2025
The Macks may have stumbled upon their Bonanza, but there is no pot of gold at the end of this rainbow. It’s all about the grind, baby! Steam locomotives accelerate faster than this band, every action met with an equal and opposite reaction. For 10 years, The Macks have been collecting disciples one at a time, and now are delivering a record made for them. Focused, scattered, electric, and tender, ‘Bonanza’ is a collection of miscellaneous rock that could only have been crafted by this dedicated and bull-headedly sincere troupe of desparate artists. First time listeners will be met with honest writing, bold production, and a world that invites them to join in on the good fortune – just don’t expect any money.

Rene MG – Every(w)here is Here - Participatory Interactive Performance
2026-02-03 18:00 - 21:00 | SomoS
American multidisciplinary artist Rene MG invites visitors into a participatory performance and installation that links the artspace’s interior to the immediate life of the street. Titled “Every(w)here is Here,” the event directs attention to a stretch of Kottbusser Damm, treated as a historical seam between Neukölln and Kreuzberg, shaped by successive waves of settlement, labor, and migration.
Working with conversation, guided prompts, streaming, and live projection, the evening stages a shared encounter in which participants can step in, facilitate, or simply observe as the situation shifts. The heart of the setting is a window-facing livestream projection that acts as an optical membrane between inside and outside. Passers-by are invited to connect in real time, so that viewpoints from the neighborhood enter the space directly, accumulating into a changing composite of street-level experience and gallery presence.
Rene MG’s aims for her event to be an opportunity “to connect, converse, intersect, resonate about a specific place,” and its history, and an attempt to bridge people’s understanding of what art is and can be.
About Rene MG:
Rene MG (b. 1965, USA) is a Saint Paul, Minnesota-based artist working across participatory performance, installation, and film. She holds a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies from UNC Chapel Hill, an MA in Art History (20th-century art and film) from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, completed doctoral coursework at Heidelberg University (ABD), and received an MFA from Transart Institute for Creative Research (2023, sponsored by Liverpool John Moores University). Her participatory projects have been presented internationally and in public-facing contexts in the US, and her film work has been recognized at the Heidelberg Film Festival.

Das Berliner Garage-Duo CAVA ist nach seinem im Frühjahr 2023 erschienenen Debütalbum „Damage Control“ und unzähligen Shows zurück – und wie! Am 15. November 2024 erschien das zweite Album „Powertrip“ mit 14 neuen Songs, die zeigen, was die Band – Peppi Ahrens und Mela Schulz – am besten kann: Fuzz, Distortion, energetische Drums, schnelle und zielstrebige Kampfansagen an Patriarchat, Klassismus und Kapitalismus. Die erste Single „Crashing“ stellte das eindrücklich unter Beweis. Der Song thematisiert das Gefühl, nicht gehört und nicht verstanden zu werden, und ist dafür extra laut! Nach dem Albumrelease geht es auf ausführliche „Powertrip“-Tour durch Deutschland, Österreich und die Schweiz.

Splitter Orchester Site Specific Part 4: Splitter Orchester
2025-12-12 20:00 - 22:00 | silent green Kuppelhalle
Splitter Orchester is returning to silent green’s iconic Kuppelhalle for the fourth and final installment of its site specific concert series. The orchestra has played in this architecture before, and those who have been there in November 2019 know what they are in for. Back then the orchestra was distributed on the balconies of Kuppelhalle, creating two circles stacked over each other high above the audience’s heads. The setup allowed for a crystal clear sound perception for everyone in the space, both musician and listener alike. As the many axes of listening unfolded, so did a massive piece of music, considered by many to be one of the best performances of Splitter Orchester to date. The recording of Vortex has been released on last year’s 3CD compilation splitter musik, out on Hyperdelia.
Though completely improvised, the music was strangely accompanied by the feeling that this was not an improvisation at all – but rather a delicately thought out work of music, created in the moment by a collective consciousness.
The return of Splitter Orchester to Kuppelhalle is not about trying to recreate this particular moment, but about revisiting the space with the distance of the last six years that have passed. The world and the orchestra have changed radically since 2019, nothing is the same anymore. This disposition together with a space that is nothing short of perfect to experience the sheer musical power of Splitter Orchester is the recipe for this very special evening, marking the finale of Splitters 2025 site specific concert series.
Splitter Orchester is:
Burkhard Beins | percussion, Roy Carroll | electronics, Anat Cohavi | clarinet, Axel Dörner | trumpet, Sabine Ercklentz | trumpet and electronics, Kai Fagaschinski | clarinet, Emilio Gordoa | percussion, Robin Hayward | tuba, Steve Heather | percussion, Chris Heenan | contra bass clarinet, Mike Majkowski | double bass, Matthias Müller | trombone, Andrea Neumann | inside piano, Andrea Parkins | electronics and accordion, Michael Thieke | clarinet, Sabine Vogel | flutes, Biliana Voutchkova | violin, Marta Zapparoli | tape machines and antennas.

Molly Nilsson - SO36, Berlin
2025-12-11 19:00 - 22:30 | SO36
Puschen and Shameless/Limitless proudly present Molly Nilsson.
The show is sold out / das Konzert ist ausverkauft.
Einlass: 19h, Beginn: 20h
Amateur is the 12th studio album by Molly Nilsson. Deep in the teeth of a career that threatens to tip into something resembling a “legacy,” Molly Nilsson celebrates with an album recorded instinctively, quickly and bursting with so many moments of emotional brilliance and clarity it may be her greatest yet. Hers has been a career spent reaching out, perennially powerful in her earnestness, a warrior ridiculously defenceless and armed with a glittering sincerity. Shearing herself of the machinations of the music industry, recording at home, writing direct to the heart.
There are moments on Amateur shrouded in reverb, slightly out of focus, forcing the listener to step deeper into the Mollyverse.. Nilsson’s open-armed beseeching to the world permeates every beat, every chord. These are songs exploding with life: the chunky, aggressive bassline on the punker Get A Life can’t hide its massive, catchy chorus. The sweeping Swedish Nightmare might be a tongue-in-cheek self-reference, but at its heart it’s a song about the duality of living life large, what is a dream, what is a nightmare? Molly Nilsson says you can’t have one without the other, and why would you want to?

Jean Lorenzo, known as Silent EM, fell into his solo project by chance. He had played guitar and bass in post-punk and punk bands but in 2010 he found, upon his transition to a new city, that he could create music singularly with synthesizers and drum machines. His songs explore themes of disillusion, disappointment with religious views, war and lost love utopias. The influence of 1980s French coldwave and post-punk is apparent in his craft.
Exploring the intersection between industrial and synth pop, Ortrotasce “Distant In Time” draws a line from the sounds of the past to the present. For fans of Hard Corps, Fad Gadget, and SPK .

CSABA HOUDEK - Ethno-Psych-Balkan-Sci-Fi-Rock
2025-12-06 20:00 - 23:00 | Alter Schwede
Csaba Houdek ist ein ungarischer Musiker und Komponist, der sich musikalisch dem Balkan verschrieben hat und ihn durch die verschiedenen Kristalle seines musikalischen Werdegangs spiegelt: Ethno-Psych-Balkan-Sci-Fi-Rock ist kein fancy Titel, sondern Realität in seinem Spiel. Houdeks Konzerte sind virtuos, träumerisch, hart, und sie schmecken nach selbstgebranntem Rakija.

HUMAN TOYS is a garage punk duo. Poupée Mecanik (vocals, theremin) plays with female archetypes, coupling subversion with irony. Guitarist Jon Von, x-Rip Offs, has transformed the band with new songs somewhere between the Ramones and the Avengers!
The LPs on Topsy-Turvy records and 45 on Outro Records cover subjects from B-movies, drugs and perversion to politics, sexism and gender freedom.

“Ah, The almighty ROXIES! There are not sufficient words in the English language to convey how much I love this Berlin-based band. They have a new album called Keep You Up At Night releasing in March on Flight 13 and Dirt Cult Records — and I’m stoked, of course! In advance of the album, new single “Animals” is vintage Roxies — a head-on collision of power pop and old school punk with infectious hooks and thoughtful lyrics “about self-determination, humanity and equality.” What’s not to love? Once again, the legendary SmaiL ShocK is on hand for recording and mixing duties, and the track sounds great! This is music that will have you both dancing and feeling inspired!”

Author, musician, and filmmaker Nikolas Schreck will appear for a special signing of his highly acclaimed book The Satanic Screen: An Illustrated Guide to the Devil in Cinema.
He will present and dissect two diabolical classics—The Student of Prague and The Black Cat—revealing how these masterpieces shaped the cinematic image of the Devil.
Schreck will also deliver an illuminating talk on the vibrant, shadowy personalities of the magical occult underground in Weimar Berlin, and how their influence helped forge the dark mythology of Satanic cinema.

Zudem hält Schreck einen faszinierenden Vortrag über die schillernden, geheimnisvollen Gestalten des magisch-okkulten Untergrunds im Weimarer Berlin und ihren entscheidenden Einfluss auf die dunkle Mythologie des Satanisches Kino

Automelodi // Urban Spree, Berlin
2025-11-13 20:00 - 23:00 | Urban Spree, Revaler Str. 99,, Berlin, 10245, Germany
aufnahme + wiedergabe presents
Automelodi (live)
Dark Wave / Post Punk
www.automelodi.bandcamp.com
+ guests (tba)
Formed in 2006, Automelodi is a constantly evolving project based around the solo work of songwriter/producer Xavier Paradis. With a career that spans over two decades, Paradis is a well-established figure in Montreal’s dense electronic music culture, releasing over time with various projects, performance line-ups, or under different monikers such as Arnaud Lazlaud. He also collaborates with artists like Liz Wendelbo (of Xeno & Oaklander) as the duo Liz and László, as well as Latvian Producer Dmitry Distant.
Automelodi’s music embraces and re-contextualizes a spectrum of influences that include the lesser-known European synthpop and post-punk of the latter Twentieth Century, combined with literary stylizations reminiscent of Gallic songwriters such as Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Fontaine—with nearly all vocals delivered in French. Following the self-released first EP, an eponymous album was released in 2010 by the now defunct Brooklyn label Wierd Records. The second LP, “Surlendemains acides”, was released in digital format in 2013. A third LP, “Mirages au futur verre-brisé” was released in 2019 on Austin’s Holodeck Records. The release was followed that same year by an extensive tour of Europe. Automelodi resumed touring in 2023, with several dates across the USA and is currently working on a collection of new songs, including some singles to be released in 2024/2025.
In parallel to his work as Automelodi, Paradis has also been very active over the past two decades as a music producer, focusing primarily on mixing and remixing for other projects and artists such as Bootblacks, Silent EM, The Harrow and Laura Krieg.

Cate Le Bon, support: H. Hawkline - Säälchen, Berlin
2025-11-12 19:00 - 22:30 | Säälchen
Tickets ab Freitag 6. Juni, 10h:
https://www.tixforgigs.com/Event/65718
https://link.dice.fm/jc2b7fc224fc
Einlass: 19h, Beginn: 20h
Das Werk der walisischen multidisziplinären Künstlerin, Produzentin und Sound-Architektin Cate Le Bon lässt sich schon lange nicht mehr kategorisieren. Auf sechs Alben, darunter das für den Mercury Prize nominierte “Reward” und zuletzt das von der Kritik hochgelobte “Pompeii”, hat sie eine einzigartige Stimme entwickelt: teils Surrealistin, teils Bildhauerin, immer im Einklang mit den emotionalen Unterströmungen, die ihre Kunst prägen. Ihre Produktions-Credits – “Cousin” von Wilco, “Phonetics On and On” von Horsegirl, und St. Vincents mit einem Grammy ausgezeichnetes “All Born Screaming” – zeugen von ihrem tiefen Vertrauen in ihre Fähigkeit, Klangwelten in intime, eigenwillige Welten zu verwandeln.
Geboren im ländlichen Carmarthenshire, Wales, und jetzt in Cardiff ansässig, wurde Le Bons kreativer Weg sowohl von Einsamkeit als auch von Zusammenarbeit geprägt. Ihre langjährige Zusammenarbeit mit dem Co-Produzenten Samur Khouja und dem Saxophonisten Euan Hinshelwood ist ein wesentlicher Bestandteil ihres sich entwickelnden Sounds – eine Mischung aus analoger Wärme, gefiltertem Gesang und skulpturalen Arrangements, die sich sowohl fremd als auch zutiefst menschlich anfühlen.
Ihr kommenden siebtes Album “Michelangelo Dying” entspringt einem Ort roher Emotionen und widerstrebender Verletzlichkeit. Das Album ist ein schillernder Songzyklus, der Wunden aufreißt, obwohl er versucht, sie zu bewahren – eine schillernde, vielschichtige Meditation über Liebe, Verlust und das unerkennbare Selbst.
Mit einem bewegenden Gastauftritt von John Cale und einer Klangpalette, die Gitarren, Saxophone und Synthesizer zu etwas sowohl Intimem als auch Expansivem zusammenfügt, lädt uns Le Bon einmal mehr in eine Welt ein, in der das Gefühl die Form überlagert und die Abstraktion zu ihrer eigenen Art von Wahrheit wird.
Die Show wird präsentiert von Kulturnews, MusikBlog & ByteFM
