In 2003, Carl and Micha met in Berlin, Germany while studying Music at Humboldt University. Soon they discovered similar interest in complex musical structures and started to work on pattern-oriented material over the next 2 years. Four of these compositions have been recorded in July 2005 at SubMusic Studios for their self-titled debut EP, which will be released soon.
Now, Micha studies Jazz percussion in Dresden and Carl guitar in Leeds,UK. But the Duo still exists! Future gigs in Germany and England are planned.
We are still unsigned, so if you have a label and like what you hear, feel free to contact us.
Am 21. November wird es das Abschlusskonzert der Tour im Berliner Astra Kulturhaus geben. Da es im Winter kein Konzert in Potsdam geben wird, solltet ihr euch frühzeitig Tickets sichern. Auf nach Berlin !

Easily one of the most important bands of our times (and we don't say that lightly), Stars of the Lid are the highpoint of the ambient genre. Their influence on the music that really matters over the last decade has been huge, and we're incredibly honoured to be hosting them again in Leeds. This gig will be very very different, and very very special. Stars of the Lid have excelled at designing subtle, minimalist epics which sound like they're being played on a single multifaceted organic instrument. A wise man once described SOTL as "divine classical drones without the tedious intrusion of drums, or vocals. "
The Declining Winter is the musical project of Richard Vincent Adams of Leeds UK, the co-founder of the continuing group Hood and a full time stricken office worker. What does it sound like? Richard says "cassette tapes spilling out of the glovebox of a 1970's Datsun Sunny somewhere in the north of England, captured on Super 8 film". He's not far off. Live he is joined by a few more people to bring the beautiful pastoral feel to life. Wonderful stuff.
Golden Diskó Ship combines a mass of instruments and found objects (guitars, viola, glockenspiel, sticky tape, compact disc cases, toys…) together with perfectly crafted laptop electronica to form a world of beautiful, original and individual music - “…dreamy, experimental folk electronica that sounds like walking on the beach with the sun in your eyes."

Hands and Fingers makes minimally gorgeous cerebral music. He mixes samples, acoustic guitars, glockenspiel and ambient atmospheres with drum breaks that have been described as "Tortoise having a fight with Four Tet in the dark, with John Bonham trying to split them up". It's ace. Very ace.
A Forest of Sound presentation. It’s £4 on the door, doors are 8pm.
Alas, the first Forest of Sound of 2008 has been disrupted. Capulet have had to pull out as one of their number has been asked to support The Smashing Pumpkins in his other role in Oceansize… but fear not, the super talented James Yates has been added to the bill.
Dirge are a find that got the Forest of Sound camp very, very excited. Based around a minimalist core Dirge take the raw emotion and sweeping bleak sounds from the post-rock canon and fuse them with story telling and lyricism of lo-fi indie and folk and slowcore beauty.
Her Name Is Calla are astoundingly good. Watching these guys play is like watching a force of nature threatening to destroy everything around you - the power, beauty and effect of their music has to be seen live to be appreciated.
CHARLIESHERO are a band who read from the post rock canon and spit it back out with blistering energy and conviction. This kind of music lives and dies in the playing - the dynamics, the passion, the sheer force of it all... Luckily, they've got all that down just right.
James Yates’ solo show is something to behold - organic electronics, perfect drums, spot on percussion and mad-as-a-hatter inventiveness.
A Forest of Sound presentation. Tickets are £5 on the door, doors are 7.30pm.
The Chap! The Chap! They make indie-electro-punk-electronica-rock-pop fun. They make slow tunes, but they make FAST tunes. They're known for their energetic live shows which often end with exploding violins and cellos. They're so much fun it's almost obscene. COME ON!
Also joining the bill are the brilliant purveyors of some of best live shows you'll ever see Fonda 500, as well as aceness in the form of The Debuts and local funpunk rocking beats legends Cowtown
Tickets are £5 advance from We Got Tickets and £6 on the door.
Hailing from Gothenburg, Sweden, Audrey make stunningly beautiful music. Four part vocal harmonies combine with lush organic instrumentation to conjure up the feeling that you're watching a winter morning's sunrise, but with a sense of nagging unease... (ahem). Comparisons to Low, Sigur Ros and Red House Painters are spot on in terms of quality, but miss that certain something that makes Audrey so captivating. Forest of Sound can't believe its luck in getting them to come to Leeds. They're amazing.
Stafrænn Hákon, once described as “frequently mesmerizing, seamlessly interwoven combination of electronica and ambient guitar…” by Wire magazine, are coming to play in the Forest of Sound! The band centre around the Icelandic born Ólafur Josephsson, and produce walls of shimmering beauty, pitching guitars in to etheral noise. They're the perfect way to make the fast approaching winter in to something wonderful, and are joined by the fantastic Her Name Is Calla and Glissando.
