The groovy five-headed whirlwind known as Arlette returns to a KRAAK stage after their ecstatic showing in Antwerp two summers ago. Like modern day troubadours, their unhinged violins, syncopated rhythms, and Beefheartian phrasings are trotted out to play ~ and play they will! With their latest albumDans votre tête Sandwich driving cartoonish visions through the vessel of kaleidoscopic free rock, Arlette will deliver the unfettered energy so necessary to rouse wild spirits out of their winter hibernation.

Comparisons abound, from Jandek to Hartmut Geerken to Ghedalia Tazartes, yet Gaute Granli remains an unclassifiable figure in our strange midst ~ his vocal inanities fold into delirious looped medleys, allowing for pop-like glimmers before dissolving into guitar-gutted shreds. Music that is for nobody and yet bewitches everyone that encounters it, as the experience of being deeply weirded out often turns out to be a welcome one. His new record Rosacea will is out on Nashazphone!

Deep internet dives can lead down beguiling sonic pathways, just ask Lizzy Van Dierendonck aka Keta Bush as she concocts a musical journey from her latest rabbit hole digs. Weaving tunes with spoken word, field recordings and morsels of pop culture lore, the Keta Bush experience shifts with every obsession currently striking her fancy.
