About this Event
Join us for an intimate evening with Boris Pelekh (Gogol Bordello) as he heads to High Street as part of his European tour.
"Boris possesses a vocal aesthetic that is at once beautifully somber but graced with a stark whimsy. Held up only by somber pretty chord shapes, the duo of guitar and voice is gracefully perfect, both quietly powerful and endearing."
- American Pancake
"There’s a gentleness at the heart of I See It Now that’s impossible to resist."
- Analogue Trash
"I See It Now displays a minimalist approach to reflection that takes a dap or hush folk mixed with emo vulnerability. Pelekh hones the quiet interplay of Ben Gibbard at his most intimate while cascading a new band of quiet vocal strength."
- Glide Magazine
"The lyrics speak of a failed relationship, and discovering your own self-worth. It’s powerful stuff!"
- York Calling
"Pelekh’s comfort with fearlessly sharing his emotions understates the experiential plight involved in the making of I See It Now."
- The Big Takeover
"Boris Pelekh's flexible indie-folk stylings capture a new quiet in his life, even as he sifts through the difficult tropes of heartbreak, isolated ruins, and eventually, ego death."
- It's Psychedelic Baby
Support froms from Swansea and Elysium favourites Honey Rich and Gwilym Evans.
