Slovenian trio Širom make 'imaginary folk' songs that have captivated audiences since their debut 2017 album 'I Can Be a Clay Snapper'. The band's instrument inventory gives you an idea of the kind of rare musical treats you can expect from this night:
Ana Kravanja – violin, viola, ribab, cünbüs, balafon, ngoma drum, mizmar, voice
Iztok Koren – balafon, banjo, three string banjo, bass drum, percussion, chimes
Samo Kutin – brač, gongoma, mizmar, lyre, one string bass, frame drums, voice
The expansive compositions they conjure up with these often hand-made instruments echo the borderless, collective spirit of groups like Don Cherry's Organic Music Society and Art Ensemble of Chicago.
Their 2022 album 'The Liquified Throne of Simplicity' made the number 1 slot in The Quietus' Album of the Year list, and they come to the Rose Hill this November with a new album of songs to play out, one track of which was premiered at the recent Ment festival in Slovenia to great acclaim:
"I got to finally catch Širom in their glory of home ground - outstanding." - Gilles Peterson, BBC6
"Beautiful, messy, playful, terrifying, sweet stuff – you never knew where they were going to go." - Jude Rogers, Guardian
-----------
Named for a Brighton shipwreck and a fragment of a Slum of Legs lyric, Athina B are a band playing from the liminal spaces - capturing the sounds of twilight, halfway between dream and memory where birds are caught midflight, lit by a setting sun.
Helmed by local favourites YOU&TH and Rdyer, with occasional guests and passers through, they turn found sounds, layered violin, bells, polyrhythms, harps, chants and charms into semi-improvised paeans to time and life and joy.
With only a few performances to their name, they've already built a reputation for riveting performances and incredible on-stage chemistry. Not to be missed.
FFO: Dirty Three, Laurie Anderson, Lau nau, Haress, Kronos Quartet
