Koen Holtkamp is no stranger to producing beautiful music. Expect layers of warm organic noise and found sound combine to make pieces that are both gorgeously minimalistic and endlessly deep. He's making the trip over from New York to celebrate the launch of his new album on Type records, and you'd be a fool to miss him!
Gorgeously organic music that washes over you and through you - the best of all ambient music understands the importance of holding back, of understatement, of beauty - Pausal achieve this, and more. Stunning stuff for a night of pure sonic bliss.
Forest of Sound's favourite one man laptop genius, randomNumber, comes back to regale us with his excellent and deeply inventive brand of electronica. There's a reason that he's so energetic in his performance - his music is brilliant. Simple. As.
A Forest of Sound presentation. It’ll be £5 on the door, and doors are at 8pm.
Alright folks, It's been a while since we headed over your way, but we'll be doing just that on Saturday with an amazing Spanish band in tow...oh, and The Hipshakes as well. Hope you can step out.
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.
our old friends THE LODGER new single / album out on Bad Sneakers with bouncing bass and extra jangle here is their new video which is reallly nice: http://www. youtube. com/watch?v=LGQ114DPvuY

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.

We subscribed New Killer Stars to our national radio station to get airplay! It's a program/project that offers new bands a chance to be heard to the masses.
And the idea is pretty simple, people (which means you) can vote for a song and it will be ranked into one big list. Neat huh? So please give us a hand and vote for our song "Hebrew Matthew" to get high ranks at the first place (which means, more publicity).
You can check it out here: www.ongekendtalent.nl! (don't worry, there's no subscription/registration needed, simply click at the "Stem op dit nummer" button underneath the songtitle at the right and your done)
arigatou, thank you, bedankt!

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.
