Mountains + Sleeping States + Outshine Family + Simon Scott

This event has already taken place and ended on 27 May 2011

Forged at the Art Institute of Chicago, Mountains is an adventuresome duo, equally invested in pastoral beauty and dense atmospheric pressure. Their extended melodies and unique broad guitar work have suggested comparison to artists such as Brian Eno and Fennesz. Touring on the back of highly anticipated new material, Mountains will journey effortlessly through their unique realm of experimentation. Stella support comes from Sleeping States and Outshine Family. Join us for an evening of dreamwork drones and sublime sonic wanderings.

Mountains is Brendon Anderegg and Koen Holtkamp, two sonic explorers from New York, whose long history, shared philosophies, and love of sculpting sound, has resulted in some of the most densely layered and blissful music crafted in recent memory. A series of releases and live shows have drawn them a cult following. Rare live appearances past are spoken of in hushed tone: precise and tactile, they process all manner of instruments and things on stage into a shimmering infinity.

Outshine Family is the ever-evolving musical collective constellating around the vision of nomadic Australian songwriter, composer and producer Matthew Nicholson. Nicholson makes a transcendental sound that ranges from resonant drone to ecstatic pop and has shared stages with countless alternative heavy weights including Low, Fennesz, Animal Collective and Espers.
