MATTEAH BAIM
Matteah Baim, the non-CocoRosie affiliated half of Metallic Falcons has forged on without Sierra Cassidy to create an album of disparate, haunted folk songs that loll over your senses like desert clouds. With the help of a few friends (Jana Hunter, Devendra Banhart, Rob Doran) she has taken her palate of lonesome inky textures and blown it dry with a wanderer's spirit. Her songs ring with a wounded sense of femininity and mournful charm that furthers the tones her past work.
LICHENS
Following an awe-inspiring performance for Miles of Smiles at St Giles Church earlier this year we are glad to welcome back Chicago based musician/artist Rob Lowe (aka Lichens). Lichens live is a transfixing experience, looping wordless vocals into curtains of ghostly drone. Electric guitar, percussion and other effects are similarly used to create alternately thick and delicate works. Lichens is involved in collaborations with Cloudland Canyons and White Light. He is also working on a collaboration with Alan Licht, and is currently a touring member of Rhys Chatham’s guitar trio.
