Tartaruga Records presents... the second 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.

Featuring...

MESSAGE TO BEARS

Fading summer twilight tones and blissful guitar clusters. Instrumental reflections tinged with melancholy but at the same time providing calm solace and beautiful escape.

RUDI ARAPAHOE

Somnambulist's dreams and magical realist melodies shimmer and weave through glacial constructions of foggy notes and crackling harmonic embers.

PART WILD HORSES MANE ON BOTH SIDES

A primal elemental swirl of visceral scattered percussion and encircling flute harmonics. Fierce and soothing in equal measure - a sonic landscape to become immersed in utterly.

C JOYNES

Fragmented fingerpicked guitar and instrumental folk textures - nostalgic without pastiche, and with a warm, enveloping intimacy.

STRAY GHOST

Crystalline distillations of beauty and melancholy filtered through a soft reverie of fragile drones, struck through with occasional hints of unease like a nagging half-forgotten memory.

JON COLLIN

A sprawling haze of solo improvised guitar and valve-amp hum, all Dead Man drama and rough-hewn awe and beauty.

BRAINDEAD COLLECTIVE

Kaleidoscopic jazz-drenched noise-rock experiments - clawing across as many genres as will fit in each hybrid burst of sonic onslaught.

THEE MOTHS

Tactile electronic structures that ebb and swirl amidst a dizzying array of noises drawn from instruments designed or bent to purpose - transportive and otherwordly.

GRAPEFRUITS

Citric yellow fruit.
