SLOMOCounting the likes of Sunn O))) and Gnod among their champions, Yorkshire drone legends Slomo returned to the live scene in 2024 with sets at Todmordon’s mythical Golden Lion and a sold out show for Stone Club at London’s Heavenly Social. They begin 2025 at “the gateway to the Dark Peak”, playing in support of their recent album "Zen and Zennor", inspired by the ancient sites and spectral otherness of Land's End.
“Melodic patterns as simple as cup and ring stone carvings… a liminal zone of luminous guitar and softly undulating arpeggios… ‘Zen and Zennor’ proves itself a rewarding portal.” (Abi Bliss / The Wire)
“Fizzles with throbbing electrical energy” (Bob Fischer / Electronic Sound)
“The Dons of Drone” (Paddy Shine / Gnod)

PEFKIN
Gayle Brogan performs solo under the name Pefkin, creating slowly-unfolding, ritualistic hymnals that draw heavily on the landscape and natural world, using processed violin / viola, electronics, voice and field recordings, her music receiving comparisons to Coil, Popul Vuh, This Mortal Coil and Nico. She has released albums internationally on labels such as Morc, Wild Silence, Nite Hive, Folklore Tapes and Sonido Polifonico. Gayle is also one half of innovative folk duo Burd Ellen, a third of psychedelic electric folk trio Meadowsilver, and has collaborated with cult Irish singer-songwriter Alison O'Donnell and modular synth composer Jonathan Sharp.
“Spooked-out twilight listening that is both unsettling and compelling, drawing you into a private world.” (Ed Pinsent / Sound Projector)
“Something akin to what it must have been like hearing Nico's 'Marble Index' when it was released; alien yet curiously familiar, beautiful yet stark, hypnotic yet troubling.” (Grey Malkin / Active Listener)

BLACK BRUNSWICKER
Growing up in the American midwest but now living in the English northwest, Black Brunswicker blends delicately picked acoustic guitar with tape loops and textures to create expansive ambient folk soundscapes. With music influenced by travel and nature, her 2022 release ‘High Peaks’ was partly inspired by trips to the Peak District. Her latest album ‘Been Around Here Before’ (Nettwerk Music) is a collection of DIY folk-brushed ambient that balances noise with beauty.
“Black Brunswicker continues to shine as a true innovator on the scene right now.” (Chris Bound / Mystic Sons)
