Sans Froid (UK) Cabbage Ego Death (BE) Burners (NL)

Formally known as Sang Froid prior to announcing their name change just today, ‘The Still’ see’s the Bristolian art-prog quartet stepping boldly into the future whilst retaining those idiosyncratic sensibilities that made them such an alluring entity from the offset. Born forth from the fertile ley line of creativity also inhabited by contemporaries such as PEACH, Chiyoda Ku, CLT DRP, Voronoi and Sugar Horse, ‘The Still’ is a deeply possessive shawl of noise, one that circumvents genre in thanks to it’s off-kilter rhythm, jazz-orientated drive and the impassioned, enfolding vocals of Aisling Whiting. Yet, despite it’s shadowed presentation, it’s also a track of optimism and hope, one that urges oneself to take the time to breathe, mediate and search for light in increasingly dark times such as these. Frankly, it’s a testament to the unfettered sense of dichotomy inherent to Sans Froid craft and a track that pays further credence to this brilliant band’s approach to musical innovation.

Cabbage Ego Death is an post-apocalyptic electronic bio-punk duo from CabbageTown.

Arising from the compost hills, they bring cabbagy poetry conserved in grandma’s recipe.

Burners zijn een van de grootste geheimen van Amsterdam. Als band verschijnen ze onregelmatig live, maar hun performance is sensationeel en laat je met een onmiskenbare energieke drive achter.
“Roughly the sound consists of strong songs and edge. They produce a sound that is slightly chaotic and reminiscent of punk. Yet the melodic content gives room to approachable phrases of pop and electro; uplifted but raw.”
