Be Prepared present A Whisper In The Noise, Max Bondi and Quinta - Wed 16th May @ Cafe Oto
This should be a really good one. It's A Whisper In The Noise's only confirmed UK date too.
The blurb:
Be Prepared for...
A Whisper in the Noise
West Thordson's project combines unusual instrumentation to create washes of haze and prettiness, reminiscent of early 4AD or the Kramer produced Low records. Their's was one of the stand out performances when picked by Shellac's Steve Albini to play ATP back in 2004. The BBC says of the new album 'To Forget' "[there] is an intrinsic beauty shot through each and every piece. There are moments on All My and Your Hand, and the delicate piano instrumental Maya’s Song, where time around the listener just… stops."

Max Bondi
Machines are coaxed into warm, soothing, percussive, electronica. Often abstract, but engaging, Max's second album was a recent 'Album of the Week' on boomkat.com. This will be his first solo live performance.

Quinta
Layering countless instruments to create a timeless sepia folk world.

Four weeks time!
Just over two weeks
BUMP!
Dayshift bump,
We've thrown another load of tickets up on WGT too.
Next week!
This is on wednesday.
Final bump.
Tonight!
Very excited
I'd never heard of them before I saw this on the Oto schedule and I was totally bowled over and have spent the last couple of weeks devouring their stuff.
This was truly lovely
Great job.
Indeed
Perfectly balanced between prerecorded stuff, loop-generated rhythms and instruments played live. Plus 2 wonderfully delicate voices.
I liked the woman who started doing tai-chi dancing near the piano,
especially as she had to move furniture around to clear a space.
Cheers to everyone for coming down - the crowd was better than we were expecting (given that the Sharon Von Etten, Lower Dens, Bear In Heaven and Eric Chaneaux shows were on the same night), and everyone seemsed to enjoy it, even if I did have to ask two people to stop talking so loudly through the sets.
I would never have the moxie to tai-chi dance at an almost entirely seated gig
Nor would I have the inclination, but I still admire it. It was pretty weird, but oddly fitting. I also enjoyed the first band marching offstage straight in to the ladies' toilet. In kabuki make up. Some poor lass may have been pretty thoroughly startled there.
