Welcoming back MEMORIALS after their sold out show for a MV Christmas special.
This is the new band of Verity Susman (Electrelane) and Matthew Simms (Wire, Better Corners, It Hugs Back, UUUU). As a duo these multi-instrumentalists cover plenty of ground on stage, juggling instruments in a set up resembling that of a 5-piece band. Theirsound touches on the many points for which they are known, veering from melodicsongwriting to psychedelic noise, free jazz freakouts, tape loops and drones, and then backagain. Their debut double album – Music For Film: Tramps! & Women Against The Bomb was out on 12 May 2023 via The state51 Conspiracy label.

VÄLVĒ – Folk lullabies re-imagined by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Found-sound collages interrupted by Welsh language orations and sudden outbursts of fuzz bass. Gleaming synthpop workouts that collapse into swirling dreamscapes of sax and harp. Tiny sounds opening out onto the epic. Hi-tech and no-tech, deployed with equal measures of discipline and abandon. Carefully sculpted disorder. Uncanny geometries of noise and melody. Dizzy and gleeful and drawn in notebooks. That is VÄLVĒ.


NEW SIGNING - VÄLVĒ

Slow by name, slow by nature! It has been a while since we released a record but we are excited to announce a new signing to our small but perfectly formed roster. Having previously released a series of EPs and an album (Geography) on State51, VÄLVĒ return with a beautiful second album which will be released on Slowfoot in November. It’s a gem and we are proud to be putting this out into the world. Keep your ears and eyes peeled…
