with Mole Harness
(Sat 3rd / 8pm / £5)
A Qu Junktion

Another magical find from the man who discovered Devendra Banhart, Michael Gira (Swans, Young God Records). Mi and L'au are Finnish/French couple who live deep in the woods in Finland, where they devote themselves to writing music together. Their music is bare and austere with voice, acoustic guitars, and very moving orchestrations. It has the naked quality of early Nico or even Chet Baker recordings - soulful and elegant, without being touchy-feely or confessional. Haunting and pure, like a soundtrack to a glacial landscape, they come to the Cube after stealing the show at Green Man Festival.

New boy wonder Alexander Tucker, star of Venn 2005, vocalises 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 hyper antique- modern mindset. Having recently toured with Jackie O'Motherfucker, his new album OLD FOG is out on ATP and a collaboration with Stephen O'Malley (Sunn O))), Khanate) is underway.

One of Bristol's melancholic treasures, Mole Harness has been steadily amassing new material and formed his own label, Stay Dog Army Records. Time for his first live show in ages demonstrating an evolving sound palette that bears the influences of Fennesz and Terry Riley.
