ANIMATION / HOOFUS / EVADER / ROBERTE @ the ferry boat (NPU My How You've Grown! launch)

** ANIMATION
Glasgow-based post-rock. think Codeine, Godspeed!, Low and you're partway
there.

they said:
"based in Glasgow (Scotland), Animation play dark, haunting, folk music
that draws on classical, americana, electronica, post-rock and ambient
music. the band uses piano, guitar, bass, vocals, cello, trumpet,
transistor radio, tape delay and bowed cymbals. amidst the noise, are
songs about life, death and boats."

One Louder said:
"imagine if Nick Cave was playing piano and singing with Godspeed. that’s
Glasgow based band Animation for you. yes, they can do the big noise thing
but they can do the quiet string-laden almost classical thing even
better."


also stand about and drink pints/gins/softpops to:

** HOOFUS
MQ's electro-adonis previewing dreamy slip-hop from his forthcoming
mini-album

** EVADER
monster riffs and monster (good) looks - 'ACORNS & LEAVES' ep out soon on
Happy Capitalist Recordings

** ROBERTE
new experimental art-folk collaboration featuring Nick Melia
(ex-Navigator), Andre Bosman (Hoofus) and Laura Cannell (Horses Brawl,
PostaLowa) amongst others.
