The first of the May Sonic Bloom gigs arrives in the form. Packaging is the duo of Daniel Lyon (Spirit Award) and Daniel “Connor” Birch (Flaural). Their debut album Packaging fuses psychedelic textures, krautrock chug, electronic grandeur, tuneful accessibility, and just a little bit of bristling self-awareness.
The name Packaging may connote a cynical mindset about the music industry, but the music
that duo Daniel Lyon (Spirit Award) and Daniel “Connor” Birch (Flaural) make is far from cynical.
Instead, it’s a passionate merging of elements from their distinct voices: krautrock chug, psychedelic swirl, electronic grandeur, and tuneful accessibility, with a pinch of bristling self-awareness sprinkled on top.
Their debut album, Packaging, is a suite of emotionally resonant songs about disconnection, ennui, and restless movement. Featuring several musical contributors, including Luke Temple (Here We Go Magic), Ash Reiter (Sugar Candy Mountain), James Barone (Beach House), and Andy Rauworth (Gauntlet Hair). The album, like actual packaging, is a tactile experience. From the pulse-pounding rush of “Running Through The Airport” and “In My Pocket” to the woozy melancholia of “Didn’t Wanna Stay” and the quietly devastating “On Holiday,” Lyon and Birch combine their talents in ways that push each other to new emotive heights.
Support on the night comes from Lancaster’s very own King Of The Electronic Open Mic…. Guerilla Biscuits
As Guerrilla Biscuits Dave creates and curates improvised immersive sonic journeys packed full of glitchy beats, sweet hooks & filthy grooves all mixed and mashed in real time.
This solo electronic project fuses glitchy beats with dub-by basses, ice-cream van leads and snarky percussion, delivered through a laptop and performed on an array of controllers. There’s also probably some pads and almost certainly some warped vocal samples taken from the likes of Future-Economist Kate Raworth, Rock Against Racism fanzine editor Red Saunders and/or Philip K. Dick.This gig will be in Atika and has reduced accessibility mainly due to stairs. Please contact us for more info on this
The outside beer garden will be open from 13h
