Too soon for June?
So here we are on the last day of Spring, thanking you for supporting us through our crazy busy May and especially to everyone for coming to see MOUNT EERIE last week. Four way vocals are definitely the way to go! We've got two suitably, splendid shows lined up for next week. Monday at Dalston Victoria sees the one and only CHRIS COHEN in town again for the first time since his jaw-dropping performance at our last Xmas party, who doesn't love a singing drummer? Then on Wednesday we're lucky enough to have MARNIE STERN, SKY LARKIN and TRASH KIT all playing for us at The Garage, very, very exciting! In other news, we're announcing today a "short notice" concert for the truly remarkable artist LONNIE HOLLEY, the show takes place in three weeks time on June 24th and full details follow in our listings closer. To get you in the mood for Summer, check out Lonnie's heartbreakingly beautiful track from his recent Dust To Digital album…

CHRIS COHEN is a 37-year-old native of Los Angeles currently residing in the farmlands of Vermont. He is the child of a former music business executive and a former Broadway actress. His resumé of prior musical projects is a long one: as a contributing member of The Curtains, Cryptacize, Deerhoof, and Natural Dreamers, he released 10 full-length albums between 2002 and 2008. Along the way, Cohen was also a touring player with White Magic, Cass McCombs, Haunted Graffiti and Danielson, among others, for stints both short and long. All of this has culminated in his first release under his own name, and his first for Captured Tracks, 'Overgrown Path'. A singing drummer who writes psychedelic pop music, Cohen also records his own bass, Casio MT65, piano, and guitar. Tracks like “Caller No. 99″ and “Monad” follow idiosyncratic forms, but are still melodic in an unconventional and homegrown way – like the best of Robert Wyatt, Mayo Thompson, Syd Barrett, and Jerry Garcia. 'Overgrown Path' unfolds its delicate and unexpected arrangements around Cohen’s relaxed baritone, unhurriedly revealing the detailed world wrapped up in each song. Also, be sure to check out Cohen's brilliant recent split 7" with Reveille on Clapping Music too!

KING ALFRED MAN OF LEISURE is Iain Paxon, Jacindy Cartland and Stuart Cartland. King Alfred Man Of Leisure have previously released various memos and hotwires for Brighton labels Sex Is Disgusting, Tuff Enuff and Hark! However, new album 'We Are Submarine' on Savoury Days adopts a more substantial approach to their interpretation of mesmeric, minimal pop (and song length) with insightful results. Although mercifully the realm of the serious artist is one steered well clear of, these latest offerings discuss topics such as men in white vans, the devil and sub-aqua life, make it a total must hear!

SHOWMAN'S WAGON are a band of enthusiasts. In their wagon there hangs a snatcher bag where Johnny whirlwind works off the excess whilst a bi-lingual and ambidextrous troll models follies to better understand this excess. Entering their forgery of sound is not for timorous wussies. One member, a fearless bass-guzzler by anyone's reckoning, recently broke his foot in the attempt. They are going down a rocky road and their minds, now mush, are fizzing from all the bumps (and snare hits (coming fast)). Try and catch them before they unhinge. No recordings/links up yet!

MARNIE STERN
SKY LARKIN
TRASH KIT
Wednesday 5 June

MARNIE STERN fully lives up to her reputation as “the lady who shreds,” but for Marnie Stern, shredding is not enough. After putting out three critically-acclaimed albums, Marnie could have gotten away with putting out another album filled with her richly layered sound, singular frenetic finger tapping and quasi-philosophical lyrics. However, as anyone who has given her last few albums a good listen can tell, Marnie is not one to stand still. Instead she attacks her musical evolution with full frontal bravado, reveling in musical risk instead of relaxing in the comforts of the known. For Marnie, musical possibility drives her ambition. Her new album, 'The Chronicles of Marnia', finds Marnie not only working with a new drummer (Oneida’s Kid Millions), but also passionately subtracting from her normally dense song structures to craft a sound that is both familiar and wholly original. Her trademark exuberant guitar work is still present, in fact, absent of a few layers of grit, it’s even more evident. “We stripped away a lot of the layers and a lot of unnecessary interweaving guitar parts. There’s less clutter and more of staying on a part without adding too much instrumentation.” Through the subtractive production process, Marnie’s voice became more prominent, a fact that kind of concerns Marnie, “I get worried that I am coming across as someone who thinks they are a ‘singer,’ as opposed to my usual mishmash of voices that aren’t always in key,” she said about the album’s more pronounced vocals. “I grapple with that attitude because I think it's important as a musician to try and be as proficient as possible, or try to put a lot of work into it. I suppose in my own way, I put a ton of time into singing and trying to find interesting melody ideas, I just never think of myself as having a ‘nice’ voice.” It’s an enervating change for an artist who in the past has always skillfully buried her vocals under the guitar and drum tracks. Even as Marnie evolves from what Pitchfork called her “art-metal math-rock bubblegum pop” genre, fans will still find themselves jumping head first into the album and quickly bonding with the emotionally resonant material, cascading hooks and transcendental guitar riffs. Plus, the album shreds. She is Marnie Stern after all.

SKY LARKIN are two old friends and one newer one. London called Katie away for a while and Doug ran away to Scotland but now Yorkshire holds us all. They've appeared with Broken Social Scene, The Gossip, Architecture in Helsinki, Menomena, Land of Talk, The Organ, The Little Ones, The Research, Howling Bells, You Say Party! We Say Die!, Forward Russia, Napoleon IIIRD, Los Campesinos!, Hot Club de Paris, 1990s, The Vibration, Metronomy. They wanna be with you everywhere, Wichita Recordings is their home, check out recent album 'Kaleide', packed to the brim with chiming guitars, rousing chorus rushes and grin inducing sentiment. Sky Larkin will be touring with Marnie Stern on all her UK dates, exciting!

TRASH KIT are a gang of facepainted flag-bearers who have a wild feel for melody and a heartfelt kick inside each song. Mixing chaos, considered songcraft and overlapping harmonies in equal measure, the female trio sound as joyful as they are focussed. Rachel Aggs, Rachel Horwood and Ros Murray formed the band in early 2009, and since then have been lighting up London, energising the UK underground with their raw performances and promise. Trash Kit have a sound of their very own, it's both urbane and primal, drawing on the potential of punk and the naturalism of an internal folk music. Trash Kit have an awesome album and 7” available through UTR now plus a recent split 7” with Woolf on Milk.
