PINS AND NEEDLES

Tartaruga Records present 'Pins and Needles' - an alldayer of folk, improv, avant, drone, and spine-shivering noises.
Free CD/badges for the first few people through the door. Short films and free fruit throughout.

Artists:

DIRECTING HAND
Alex Nielson and Lavinia Blackwall's mind-blowing free-improv folk duo of drums and voice – hallucinatory ethereal whispers to blistering sonic assault.

MARY HAMPTON
Haunting and intoxicating, windswept folk - stark but with an enveloping depth. Shimmering, elemental dreamlike songs.

PTHHHH
Beautiful chamber strings, ranging from fragile hints and suggestions to pulsating Hitchcockian chase-scenes.

BLEEDING HEART NARRATIVE
A mini-orchestra of strings, drums, electronics, noise, voices and assorted bits and pieces. Emotive recollections of a faded seaside resort.

DANIEL ,MERRILL (of Dead Rat Orchestra)
Scattered violin and electronics veering between dissonance and resonance - guttural raspings of intense physicality.

JECKLIN
Dreamy caustic improv with double bass, percussion, and more thrown in. Like the soundtrack to a lost Brothers Quay jazz film.

HURRA CAINE LANDCRASH
Rural twilight clicks and hums - disorientating, strange and at the same time oddly familiar.

BRASSICA
Warm, electro-acoustic sketches and dense sonic landscapre. Half-remembered daydreams and echoes of blissful (almost)pop.

COLDSTREAM
Melting glacial drones - the sounds of a deserted underwater city. Brooding soundscapes to sink into.

GRAPEFRUITS
Citric yellow fruit.
