Upset The Rhythm & Bison Records presents…
STILL HOUSE PLANTS
ASHLEY PAUL
AILIE ORMSTON
Thursday 13 December
Servant Jazz Quarters, 10A Bradbury Street, Dalston, London, N16 8JN
7.30pm | £7 | TICKETS
STILL HOUSE PLANTS are an experimental three-piece from
Glasgow. This December they’ll return to London in support of the
release of their debut LP, 'Long Play' (Bison Records). Combining visual
strategies, free improvisation, garage and punk, Still House Plants
build melodic hierarchies scaffolded around ambiguities and
intimacy. Fresh from being selected for the Cafe OTO x Jerwood
Foundation Artistic Development fund, and following two sold out tapes
on Glasgow label GLARC, 'Long Play' collects the group's raw
guitar-drum-vocal palette and stretches it to include violin, piano and
home recording. Ranging from seconds-long to seven:minute:somethings,
the album coagulates to form a heady meld of rudimentary phrases,
kinetic repetition and malleable samples. Experimental songwriting is
rarely so forthcoming, emotive, or approachable. Still House Plants have
also been artists-in-residence for the CCA/AC Projects Music Residency
and at The Pipe Factory. The trio have performed internationally too,
touring with Mette Rasmussen to perform at Ultra Eczema's 20th
Anniversary, Fasching Jazz Club with Rasmussen and Richard Dawson, as
well as at KRAAK festival.
https://bison-records.bandcamp.com/releases ASHLEY PAUL is an American composer/performer whose intuitive process integrates free form song structures with a focused approach to sound and clatter. A complexity of instruments including saxophone, clarinet, voice, prepared strings, bells and percussion create a delicate palette, uniquely her own. Her solo albums have received critical acclaim being chosen in The Wire: Top 50 Albums of 2013, Pitchfork’s “The Out Door” best experimental sounds of 2013, number one on Byron Coley and Thurston Moore’s “Tongue Top Ten” in Arthur Magazine. Paul’s recent LP on Slip, ’Lost In Shadows’, is a bewitching, expansive, deeply personal excavation of recent motherhood, told through songs dissolving and re-crystallising at the threshold of free improvisation. At the LP's heart is Paul's mercurial multi-instrumental style, which renders the primal wails, clunks, and twangs of clarinet, saxophone, percussion, and guitar uncannily melodic, alchemised by frank, vulnerable vocals. The deft negotiation of the fragile and the coruscating evidenced on Paul's 'Line The Clouds' (2013) and 'Heat Source' (2014) has now reached a kind of hesitant sublime.
AILIE ORMSTON is an artist from Glasgow who attempts to
convey a form of a contemporary condition through music and visual
means. She recently performed with Still House Plants in Glasgow and
Bradford, so it's great news that she can make the trip down to London
for this show too. Ailie will be working with material from her new
record. 'The Sedate / Tony Soprano Fashion Inspo' - co-written alongside
one drum machine and one synth and presented with live visuals which
embrace elements of chance and coincidence. Ailie explains further, "The
Sedate / Tony Soprano Fashion Inspo" is a group of compositions; each
track is a chef white. Part of the same team, but a representation of
multiplicity within music making, and as oneself making music. When I
feel that I'm losing it, I remind myself that I prefer to use my KeepCup
without it's lid anyway. 'The Sedate / Tony Soprano Fashion Inspo' is
out soon through 50% PURE.
