MATT ELLIOTT
Another glorious homecoming. A legend of mid-90s Bristol music, MATT ELLIOTT aka THE THIRD EYE FOUNDATION (Domino) has since relocated to France where he has developed his taste for Slavic and Eastern European music. He is an outsider artist who moves in mysterious ways. Artists as diverse as cLOUDDEAD, Hood and Radiohead have all been touched by his primitive sense of hymnal atmospherics.
EFTERKLANG
The latest, finest fruits of Leaf bring us absorbing, live 21st century orchestral pleasure. Eight Danish apostles strong, whose epic, melancholic movements follow a tradition that extends from The Kronos Quartet to Mum, Sigur Ros (with whom the band share members), Jaga Jazzist and Matthew Herbert. This is gripping Scandinavian drama fueled by hushed male-female vocals, glacial strings, febrile electronics and mind blowing visuals. Make sure you get a seat.
MARISSA NADLER
What a brooding beautiful gothic-country-folk sound she makes, full of reverberating folk flourishes and mystery. Her literate ballads and eerie songs feel like a weightless Daniel Lanois production of Neko Case backed by the Handsome Family. Her voice relays tales of fading beauty queens and sad souls in a style informed by old Americana and older English sensibilities, but is shot through a post-psychedelic prism.

CAROLINE MARTIN
One of the most compelling artists currently working in Bristol, CAROLINE MARTIN makes simple, spectral folk music that, while often evoking the most desolate plains of the soul, remains richly suffused with bone dry, self-deprecating wit. Caroline has recorded a total of five sessions for John Peel and his successor Rob Da Bank; her song "The Singer" reached No.3 in the legendary Mr Peel's Festive Fifty last year.

ALEXANDER TUCKER
New boy wonder, vocalizing a southern free folk sprit with extreme outsider notions of space and time. He takes the raw, mysterious stuff of English folk song and detours it through a post-industrial mindset. Having recently toured with Jackie O-Motherfucker, his new album is out on the All Tomorrow's Parties label and a collaboration with Stephen O'Malley (Sunn O))), Khanate) is underway.
