Rich(ard) Dawson
Plus Guests
Returning to tour his new record, End of the Middle.
Such is the degree to which Rich(ard) Dawson has drawn down long drafts from the whirlpools of Elemental North Eastern Archetypes, he may now be one himself.
Line-Up Includes
Lands and Body
In 2024 – over 20 years after making their debut as noise-rock duo That F*cking Tank, James Islip and Andy Abbott returned with new project Lands & Body. The gear remains the same – baritone guitar played through multiple amplifiers and drums. The approach, however, has matured like a fine Cask Ale. Math-rock riffs have become interlocking fingerpicked patterns and rhythms, ear-bleeding noise has given way to spacious dynamics. Double-digit song lengths and twin-neck guitar appearances up the prog factor. The signature Tank groove and interplay underpins an expanded palette of influences drawn from post-rock, minimalist folk, free jazz and desert blues.
Worriedaboutsatan
Ambient, minimalistic electronica thats glacially paced with 808 beats, riding waves of grainy, retro synth crescendo’s and atmospheric guitar loops awash with ominous overtones. Worriedaboutaatan’s experimental soundscapes have stretched well beyond a decade and previous releases have garnered high praise from the likes of Pitchfork, Electronic Sound Magazine, Resident Advisor and Prog Magazine.
Stephanie Hladowski
A remarkable folk singer from Shipley with a voice that seems to carry centuries. Her work with guitarist C. Joynes on The Wild Wild Berry drew comparisons to Shirley Collins and Davey Graham, and she continues to breathe life into traditional English song with rare clarity and emotional depth. One for lovers of song, story, and the power of the human voice.
About Endless Hum
