Ex-Easter Island Head

Ex-Easter Island Head are a Liverpool-based experimental music collective who compose and perform music for solid-body electric guitar, percussion and other instruments. In performances multiple electric guitars are augmented with mechanical preparations and extended techniques, creating hypnotic performances that are rich in repetition and tactility, all shimmering drones and melodic invention through purposefully limited means, at times evoking the tone works of Rhys Chatham or the ryhthmic sensibilities of Cage. Their last LP ‘Norther’ was much acclaimed, including being selected as the Quietus’ album of the year. “Among the boldest experiments in British music” - The Guardian. More →

Eliana Glass

Eliana Glass is a singer, pianist, and visual artist born in Australia, raised in Seattle and based in New York. Learning to sing and play piano by ear as a child, she spent years learning jazz standards and is a graduate of the jazz program at The New School, where she studied with such mentors as Andrew Cyrille, Ben Street, Kris Davis, and Jay Clayton.  A reverence for leftfield jazz and free improv greats is filtered through her signature nascent, naturalistic sound, capturing the “condensation of everyday life” -  bittersweet, ephemeral, and abstract. Debut album ‘E’ is a tender portrait of her lifelong relationship with the piano, and a distillation of entire lifetimes into song. More →
