Of any day of the week, ambient minimalism perhaps works best on a Monday. The noisy whirlwind of the start of the working week brought to a halt by its simple calm. Whilst Oren Ambarchi’s Monday performance at The Luminaire began as relaxed as we …
Last week we managed to get out and about to catch Gravetemple at Underworld, The Magnetic Fields at Cadogan Hall and Jaguar Love at the 100 Club. We also introduced you to a few upcoming events, namely Gilles Peterson Presents A Night Of Death Jazz …
Having recently appeared live with Gravetemple and still on loan to us from Australia, experimental guitarist Oren Ambarchi will play a solo set on Monday 14 July at The Luminaire. Whilst Gravetemple specialises in doom metal, Oren’s solo material explores the more subtle tones of …
First formed in 2006 to play a few small gigs in Israel, Gravetemple was never a Stephen O’Malley project we expected to see live. When we learned that they were to play this year at Birmingham’s Supersonic Festival, we immediately began looking into coach tickets, …
