Wandering Oak brings you:A-Sun Amissa & Lauren Mason • Thraa
and Late Girl
at the Lubber Fiend
• A-Sun Amissa & Lauren Mason •
In Water Scores, Lauren Mason’s dark and experimental poetics respond to A-Sun Amissa’s tide-like currents of guitar, synth, sampled hydrophone, loops, and clarinet. This long-form piece ranges through deep ambience, crashing chaos and ebbing aftermath.
During this new work Mason explores the curses of corporate extraction and pollution on our planet’s water, and listens in, as water speaks back. Mason is best known as bassist with now-defunct existential sludge band Torpor, where she often wove her spoken word pieces through heavy soundscapes. She has been developing her poetic practice for many years and published her first book ‘Rust Canyon’ in 2025.
A-Sun Amissa are a group in a permanent state of metamorphosis, existing on the fringes of some kind of avant-rock, relentlessly pushing forward, shapeshifting and presenting their unique noise in new ways and on their own terms. A sound underpinned and overlaid with drones, moving in and around a diverse chasm of post-rock, melancholic drone, noise, doom and ambient sounds.
This collaboration was born of a mutual love for each other’s creative output, an aligning of the political and the aesthetic.

• Thraa •
Thraa are comprised of Sally Mason and Andi Jackson. Working without the constrictions of a traditionally structured song, the duo improvise around meditative drones, combining Sunn 0))) influenced guitars with soaring vocals. Making single take recordings, they capture an organic sense of sound that has cavernous textures with minimalism at heart.

• Late Girl •
Purveying real-time future experiments with unilateral beat whippings, electronic improvisation with live vocal processing and hyper-saturated melding soundscapes.
