Locust, the project of British electronic composer Mark Van Hoen, drifts between ambient, IDM, and melancholic Trip-Hop—music that feels both intimate and cinematic.
With Morning Light (1997), Van Hoen shifted from dark ambient soundscapes into richly layered songs, merging fractured techno rhythms, ghostly vocals, and unexpected samples. Critics compared its emotional gravity to hearing Portishead for the first time—unsettling, emotional, and impossible to forget.
After making their long-awaited return at And Always Forever in Los Angeles, Locust now plays at The Chapel SF, with a renewed lineup featuring vocalist and keyboardist Olive Kimoto. The performance will weave new material with selections from Morning Light.
Zelma Studebaker (they/she), known as Zelma Stone, has been writing songs that hold both the hard and beautiful parts of life with honesty and care since releasing their first EP in 2019. Originally from the Bay Area and now based in Los Angeles, they’ve put out four EPs – including Dreamland (2020), which NPR called “beautiful and appealing,” noting “a quiet defiance in these songs.” They’ve opened for artists like Bartees Strange, Miya Folick, Madeline Kenney, and Alice Boman. Their music explores love, loss, faith, and doubt, carried by a voice that feels raw and real. One of their recent singles, “Be The One,” captures their readiness to show up fully – both as a person and an artist.
