We’re excited to welcome Andy Shauf back – this time, to New Century!

Andy Shauf is driving us out to a wild and dangerous place. Norm, his new album out 10 February on ANTI-, is a recogniszable Shauf production, but with a flowing landscape of suppressed grooves propelling the songs toward uncertain destinations. The story takes shape through little epiphanies, accumulating like debris from a series of implosions, beginning with last month’s ‘jaunty [and] existential’ (Stereogum) lead single/album opener, Wasted On You.

Today, Shauf returns with the new single, Catch Your Eye. Accompanied by a charming, animated video written by Shauf and animated by Mary Vertulfo, Catch Your Eye continues along Norm’s tracklist, and depicts a missed connection in a grocery store. ‘I need to meet you // I need to catch your eye,’ Shauf confesses through layers of vocals and muted guitar, before bright synth tones usher the tune along.

What would eventually become Norm started out in a very different place. Shauf really wanted to steer clear of a concept album, instead aiming to make a normal record. It would be a set of unrelated songs, like albums recorded by other artists, and he would call it Norm. Watching a David Lynch film one night, Shauf found inspiration for how to frame his concept. What appeared to be a nearly static camera shot of a key on a table continued uninterrupted for two minutes, then five minutes, then seven. It seemed impossible in its relentlessness, bordering on genius. Eventually, Shauf realised his browser had crashed and the movie had frozen. Enchanted by the sense of possibility and wonder that had made the film so vivid to him during that period of incomprehension, he wanted to create something similar. He deliberately left open spaces through which readers could enter to find the story and create meaning for themselves.

Once initial sketches emerged and Shauf realised he did, in fact, have the makings of another concept album, he began revising freestanding songs he’d written for the original idea of Norm, altering the lyrics until they had all been reengineered to belong in Norm’s universe. He wanted to connect them without force-marching listeners through an obvious story. Refining the lyrics, he sent them to his friend Nicholas Olson, who interpreted the overall narrative as he understood it. They repeated this process a few times, until Shauf felt the bones of the story as he imagined it lay close enough to the surface to be dug up by anyone who wanted to go looking.

Shauf wrote, performed and recorded the entire album, and recruited Neal Pogue (Tyler the Creator, Janelle Monae, Outkast) to mix. With Shauf singing everything, it’s not always obvious at first whose point of view is represented in each song. But the lyric sheet provides discreet clues to know whose voice we’re hearing at any given moment (Norm’s cast of characters includes four voices in all).

With Norm, Shauf has upended his songwriting methods, creating a deeply haunting and unpredictable universe. He’s tackling love and loss on a more panoramic, extreme scale, but Shauf feels the album is consistent with his earlier focus on small, intense encounters. He uses these close-ups to devastating effect, keeping us focused on the tiny connections between lonely creatures, while raising the stakes on the action to existential levels. There’s a story unfolding that leaps song to song, illuminating the comedy and cruelty of humanity, but, if you listen closely, most of the action takes place in the gaps between tracks.

Tour support comes from Marina Allen. Marina Allen is a once-in-a-decade five-tool musician: she writes beautiful melodies and brilliant lyrics, expresses her ideas with an unusual voice of extraordinary depth and range, thinks in fanciful arrangements, and constantly navigates the knife-edge between too much and too little. Allen’s fully formed and astonishingly confident 2021 debut, Candlepower, was released on Fire Records to critical acclaim which was soon followed with her second record, Centrifics, released last year. Prominently featuring on Rough Trade’s ‘Albums Of The Year’ and receiving praise from the Guardian as one of their 2023 Most Promising Musical Newcomers, Marina continues to gather new fans globally.

A rare and super talented newcomer, Marina recently toured the UK, selling out London’s Café Oto, earlier this year. Across the US has also been touring with Andy Shauf, S. G Goodman, Waxahatchee, Chris Cohen, Billie Marten, Mega Bog and Bedouine, along with some special performances at last year’s SxSW festival. Based in Los Angeles, Allen is difficult to categorise, drawing from influences as varied as Joanna Newsom, the Beach Boys, loft jazz, Meredith Monk and the New York avant-garde, Joni Mitchell, Karen Carpenter, Karen Dalton and Fiona Apple.  Her music is intricate, fierce, soulful, mesmerising, warm and bold.

We’re delighted to welcome Samana back – this time, to the Castle Hotel!

Samana was realised in the heart of a mountainous forest, during a year-long journey Rebecca Rose Harris and Franklin Mockett undertook across the natural wilderness and distant cities of Eastern Europe. Lending their instincts solely to the road, and to the embodiment of freedom, their first creations were written in the vast isolation of nature and performed on the streets of the towns and villages they passed through.

As two multi-disciplinary artists, Samana weave together their distinct poetry, music, striking photography and fine-art into one unique project. Crafting every element of creation themselves, the process the pair adopt is the creation of their work is one of a strong ritualistic devotion and is produced in their analogue recording studio ‘The Road Records’ and darkroom in the remote regions of Wales.

Their music confronts the heaviest elements of the human condition, alternately surrendering to this heaviness and transcending it. It is an invitation to regain possession of ourselves and our time, as well as rediscovering harmony with the environment that surrounds us, compelling a desire to overcome our borders and to learn. Oscillating between melancholic ballads and spiritual experiences, their music leads one on a journey of cinematic proportion that evokes ancient beliefs, revolution, healing, falling civilisations and intense deliberations of love, loss and death. They possess a truly unique spirit born from a nomadic and solitary existence, placing great emphasis on the philosophy of dreams, the interior of the subconscious and the power of improvisation. Each song created by Samana is constructed with an ethereal power and an emotional honesty which offers a direct passage into the essence of ourselves, removing ones veneer, with its shamanistic quality. This is music for the soul!

‘Meditative deep reflections, swooning wanderlust, piercing an anaesthetising reach – think Nico, Jarboe, Mazzy Star‘ – MOJO

‘I absolutely love these guys, they’re extraordinary, remarkable! I can’t recommend anything more highly. This is the sound of art meeting love in a very real way. Samana are my artist of the year and definitely my favourite find of the year!’ – Guy Garvey, BBC 6 Music

We’re delighted to be working with Jen Cloher again!

Jen Cloher (Ngapuhi & Ngati Kahu) is a songwriter and performer living on unceded Wurundjeri land in Naarm (Melbourne) Australia. Cloher’s taut, terse brand of rock is charged with the static tension that comes with being an eternal misfit; they have spoken truth to power with the shrewd eye that only an outsider can possess. Admirers have naturally gravitated towards Cloher’s incisive, generous songwriting. Over the course of five albums, they have won a J Award and an AIR Award and been nominated for an ARIA and the Australian Music Prize. In 2012 Cloher founded Milk! Records with Courtney Barnett releasing music from Sleater Kinney, Tiny Ruins, Hachiku and more.

On their first album in five years, Cloher finally breathes out. I Am The River, The River Is Me, their fifth album, is verdant and rich; it luxuriates in stillness, and carries itself with cool, unfussy confidence. It suggests that home is not found in a place or a politic, but in the community you keep: Inspired by Cloher’s powerful matrilineal line of w?hine M?ori, I Am The River, The River Is Me is not urgent, or hurried, but it is vital. The joy of life, Cloher seems to say, is in forgiving your moments of weakness with grace, and embracing the parts of you that are unfinished.

‘A modern day Patti Smith whose brutally honest, politically charged lyrics mark her out as one of the most interesting and important artists of her day’ – The Independent

‘Her best yet… incredible’ – the Guardian, five stars

Tour support comes from Hachiku. Inspired by other DIY artists (think: Grimes, Perfume Genius and early CocoRosie), Hachiku, a.k.a Anika Ostendorf, writes and produces dream pop with an an avant garde twist from whichever bedroom she is currently inhabiting. Originally from Germany, Ostendorf moved to Australia from London as a biology exchange student. In Melbourne, she found both a job and music community at Milk! Records and expanded her bedroom project into a band.

Since releasing her self-titled debut EP in 2017, Hachiku has taken her catchy melodies, highly tasteful, textural guitar playing and shimmering walls of sound across the world touring with the likes of Courtney Barnett, The Breeders, Jose Gonzales, Jen Cloher, Snail Mail, Stella Donnelly, Aldous Harding and Hand Habits across the US, EU and Australia.

Local support comes from Josephine Oniyama. Josephine’s debut album Portrait received critical acclaim and extensive playlist support at radio. Having toured with Paloma Faith, Michael Kiwanuka and The Noisettes, she headlined her own tours of the UK as well as appearing at a string of festivals including Glastonbury, Latitude and T in The Park. She has also collaborated on albums and live with Travis and Matthew Halsall.

Josephine released a new EP in July 2022, and a new album, Kindred, in November 2022.

We’re delighted to be working with The Chills for the first time!

The Chills are a band from Dunedin, New Zealand fronted by the rare talent of Martin Phillipps. Martin has a single-minded determination to take quality, original NZ-sounding, melodic rock music global. His requirement of band members has been to meet a standard of musicianship, which is necessary to deliver The Chills songs with essential consistent energy. This determination stems from the punk rock ethics of Martin’s musical awakening and from the subsequent proximity to people like Chris Knox who drove home how crucial it was to deliver music always with intensity and conviction.

This live energy is the central reason why The Chills are remembered fondly in all of the thirty-nine countries that they have thus far visited. It’s the combination of this AND the consistent quality of their songs which have established The Chills as one of the most well-known New Zealand groups to date – particularly in the US, UK and Europe.

The band have many faithful friends around the world and a new generation (Peter Bjorn and John, Songs, The Go Find, Panda Bear, The Shins et al) are now covering or attempting to emulate The Chills unique sound.

‘The songwriter that helped kick off indie rock as we know it’ – NPR

Tour support comes from Rats On Rafts. Rats On Rafts are a four-piece from Rotterdam, Netherlands. Their sound has often been described as a mixture of post-punk and modern lo-fi.

We’re excited to host a rare Manchester show by Kimya Dawson!

Singer/songwriter Kimya Dawson is best known for her work with the anti-folk outfit the Moldy Peaches, and has maintained a solo career since the early 2000s. She made her solo debut with 2002’s I’m Sorry That Sometimes I’m Mean, a collection of spare tunes performed mostly on the acoustic guitar, and continued releasing her own albums after the Moldy Peaches took a hiatus in 2004. Along the way, she contributed eight songs to the chart-topping Juno soundtrack, which brought her music to a wider audience, and made a foray into children’s music.

Kimya is in Europe for a handful of Moldy Peaches reunion shows and will play three very special UK dates before jetting back to the states!

Where: Night & Day Cafe, 26 Oldham St, Manchester, M1 1JN

We’re delighted to be presenting Laura Cantrell’s first Manchester show in seven years!

After a nine-year hiatus, Laura Cantrell – a long-beloved presence in the US and international Americana and roots music scene – is back with a new studio album Just Like A Rose: The Anniversary Sessions. Set to be released on 9 June 9 on the Propeller Sound Recordings label, the album features turns from Laura’s longtime friends Steve Earle, Buddy Miller, Rosie Flores and Paul Burch, and was produced variously by Don Fleming (Sonic Youth/Teenage Fanclub), David Mansfield (Bob Dylan, T-Bone Burnett), Rosie Flores (Wanda Jackson, Janis Martin) with Ed Stasium (Talking Heads, Ramones), and Paul Burch (Lambchop, Ralph Stanley).

It features musicians Mark Spencer (Son Volt, Lisa Loeb), Jeremy Chatzky (Ronnie Spector, Bruce Springsteen), Kenny Vaughan (Marty Stuart’s Fabulous Superlatives), Fats Kaplan (John Prine, Jack White), Dennis Crouch (Robert Plant, Diana Krall), and Jen Gunderman (Sheryl Crow, Jayhawks). Co-writers on the album include Mark Winchester (Randy Travis, Carlene Carter), Fred Wilhelm (Rascal Flats, Faith Hill), Gary Burr (Patty Loveless, Ringo Starr) and others.

Although the album was originally intended to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Cantrell’s debut album in 2020, recording was delayed due to covid restrictions. The new collection was completed in studios located in both the New York City area and Nashville.

‘I thought I had figured it all out!’ Cantrell muses, as she describes her initial puzzlement in 2019 at how to acknowledge the approaching 20th anniversary of her first album. ‘I wanted to salute different aspects of my music life for the last two decades, to create more of a celebration than a traditional album. The idea of recording and releasing a series of singles in real time was intriguing, so I started a crowd funding campaign and launched it,’ Cantrell leans in for emphasis, ‘on March 1, 2020.’ Within days the world was a very different place, and Cantrell placed her plans on hold while the pandemic raged in her neighbourhood in Jackson Heights, NY and throughout the world. Slowly and fitfully she pushed on while restrictions and delays changed the timeline and shape of her plans. ‘We moved so slowly I thought “this isn’t even happening!” But with the help of many great “music people” the songs emerged. There was a risk working with different producers that the results would feel disjointed, but I love where the album landed. Having come through the gauntlet of the pandemic, I felt so much joy in the process, I hope people hear and feel that in the tracks themselves.’

The material spans Cantrell’s most recent songwriting and songs she’s been humming to herself since before she’d had her own band or played her own shows. ‘It is interesting maturing into your musical worldview, you still have songs that hit you like you’re a teenager with your first crush, and others that reflect more experience and nuance, or frustration with tough realities, and then those you just love purely as music – there’s a bit of it all on this album.’

Since 2000, Cantrell has released albums Not the Tremblin’ Kind, When The Roses Bloom Again, Humming By The Flowered Vine, Kitty Wells Dresses: Songs of the Queen of Country Music, No Way There From Here, and The BBC Sessions. She has toured extensively in the US, UK and Ireland, and was a favourite of pioneering British DJ John Peel, who called her first album Not the Tremblin’ Kind, ‘my favourite record of the last ten years, and possibly my life’. Cantrell recorded several Peel Sessions for the BBC from 2000 to 2004 and appeared on the first Peel Day programme on Radio One, commemorating the first anniversary of Peel’s death.

Cantrell’s music has been celebrated in the press, including features in the New York Times, O Magazine, Elle, the Wall Street Journal, The Sunday Times of London, and Maverick Magazine. Cantrell’s music has been featured on NPR’s All Things Considered, On Point and Weekend Edition, and the BBC’s Women’s Hour. She has performed on A Prairie Home Companion, Mountain Stage, and the Grand Ole Opry, and appeared on the television programmes Late Night with Conan O’Brien, and BBC One’s The Andrew Marr Show. She is currently the host of Dark Horse Radio, SiriusXM’s programme about George Harrison that runs on The Beatles Channel, and States of Country on the streaming service, GimmeCountry.

Tour support comes from Doug Levitt, who has travelled for more than 12 years and racked up 120,000 Greyhound bus miles. Writing songs about fellow travellers, he released his debut full-length album, Edge of Everywhere, on 3 March.

This show is a co-promotion with Edge Street Live.

We’re delighted to welcome The Minus 5 and The No Ones to Manchester!

The Minus 5 are yet another band featuring Scott McCaughey and Peter Buck, where a three-decade collaboration started. The friends have shared vans (with occasional bus) with R.E.M., Tuatara, Baseball Project, Filthy Friends, Tired Pony, CeDell Davis, Robyn Hitchcock/Venus 3, No Ones and no doubt a few others. But The Minus 5, with their floating (and frankly ridiculous) membership, remain the core of what they do, which is whatever they want, most of the time. Over the course of at least 13 (?) albums, 30-plus singles/compilations, and countless live line-up fluctuations, the band-that-wasn’t-meant-to-be-a-band have toured with both Wilco and Tweedy, and appeared on Conan O’Brien and The Late Show with David Letterman.

Their next release – out this June – will be Calling Cortez (Neil Vol. 3), a continuation of tributes to the greatest, Neil Young, starting with 2020’s Scott The Hoople NEIL (Vol. 1). One would assume that there will be a Vol. 2 as well. On the new record, Neil songs share equal space with songs written by Scott McCaughey, but inspired by Mr. Young. The album features contributions from Minus 5 favourites like Kurt Bloch, Joe Adragna, Mike McCready, Linda Pitmon Wynn, Debbi Peterson, Jenny Conlee-Drizos, Jeff & Spencer Tweedy, Casey Neill, Jim Talstra and Pauly Pulvirenti.

The No Ones‘ upcoming album, My Best Evil Friend, is released on Yep Roc on 31 March 2023. The No Ones are Peter Buck, Scott McCaughey, Arne Kjelsrud Mathisen and Frode Strømstad. Consisting of members from R.E.M., The Minus 5, The Baseball Project and I Was A King, the bi-continental collaborators share their third collection of songs, My Best Evil Friend, paying tribute to the artists that inspire them and populate their turntables. Through their upbeat ’60s-style indie sound infused with psychedelic flourishes, The No Ones honour Nick Lowe, Pamela Polland, George Harrison, Jenny Lewis and Phil Ochs, among others. The group enlisted contributions from friends Debbi Peterson (Bangles), Ben Gibbard (Death Cab For Cutie) and Norman Blake (Teenage Fanclub) for backing vocals, Victor Krummenacher (Camper Van Beethoven) on bass, and strings from Marin Stallemo Bakke.

Age restriction: 14+. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.

Where: Gullivers, 109 Oldham Street, Manchester, M4 1LW

We’re delighted to be welcoming Anna Mieke to Gullivers!

Anna Mieke’s deft songwriting and enveloping compositions have asserted her as a vital voice amongst Ireland’s alt-folk genre. The Irish multi-instrumentalist and songwriter based in Wicklow, Ireland, toes the line between folk forms and vivid dreamscapes, drawing on traditional and contemporary motifs.

The lyrically ornate and instrumental delicacy of her work, alongside flowing atmospheric arrangements, contributes a challenging, emphatic and new voice to alt-folk. The release of the Wicklow-based artist’s critically acclaimed debut album, Idle Mind from 2019, garnered Anna Mieke a nomination in the ‘Best Emerging Act’ category at the RTÉ Folk Awards. Early 2022 saw her headline tours across Spain, UK, Ireland and further afield, with a week-long residency in New York (May 2022), collaborating with NYC-based musicians and composers. An accomplished multi-instrumentalist, outside of her solo material, Anna Mieke played cello with HEX, a Cork-based experimental outfit, and has developed her vocals as one-third of the singing group, Rufous Nightjar.

Across her career, she has shared stages with Lankum, Lisa Hannigan, This Is The Kit and Rozi Plain, performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and collaborated with Crash Ensemble and Adrian Crowley. These varying outlets of creative expression are integral to her distinct and timeless sound.

Anna Mieke’s second album, Theatre, which she recorded and co-produced with Nick Rayner and features contributions from long-standing bandmates Ryan Hargadon (Kojaque) and Matthew Jacobson (UMBRA), as well as Rozi Leyden (Rozi Plain), Brían Mac Gloinn (Ye Vagabonds), Lina Andonovska, Alannah Thornburgh and Cora Venus Lunny, was released in November 2022 and received praise from the Guardian, Brooklyn Vegan, MOJO and Uncut, among others, and was nominated for Album of the Year (2022) in Ireland’s ‘Choice Awards’.

We’re pleased to be working with Jeanines for the first time!

Jeanines specialise in ultra-short bursts of energetic but melancholy minor-key pop. With influences that run deep into the most crucial tributaries of DIY pop — Messthethics, the Television Personalities, Marine Girls, early Pastels, Dolly Mixture — they’ve crafted a style that is as individual as it is just plain pleasurable.

Alicia Jeanine’s pure, unaffected voice muses wistfully on the illusions of time, while My Teenage Stride/Mick Trouble mastermind Jed Smith‘s frantic Motown-esque drumming and inventive bass playing provide a thrilling rhythmic foundation. On stage, harmonies and bass from Maggie Gaster (Yucky Duster) crystallise Jeanines’ live sound.

Tour support comes from Mt. Misery. Hartlepool indie-pop trio Mt. Misery released their debut album Once Home, No Longer via Prefect Records (Ex-Void, The Natvral, EggS) in summer 2021, alongside a long-since sold-out limited edition Rough Trade Exclusive vinyl. Their latest EP, supported by the PRS Foundation’s Open Fund, was released in Spring 2022, preceded by brand new single Spinning Top.

The band’s sound reflects a timeless but beautiful heartbreak for fans of Real Estate, Whitney and Alvvays, but under the surface, there is a mature determination to succeed that can only be cultivated in the working-class environs of a northern town. Tour dates across the UK alongside the likes of The Futureheads, Porridge Radio, Plastic Mermaids, Blue Bendy and Tugboat Captain have helped establish Mt. Misery as one of the north east’s best loved live bands, with festival slots at Twisterella, Stockton Calling, Long Division and Deer Shed Base Camp further embedding their music in northern hearts.

Local support comes from Autocamper. Autocamper are a C86-influenced, socially awkward indie-pop band from Manchester.

We’re excited to welcome Sarah Jarosz to Band on the Wall.

With her captivating voice and richly detailed songwriting, Sarah Jarosz has emerged as one of the most compelling musicians of her generation. A four-time Grammy Award-winner and ten-time nominee at the age of 31, the Texas native started singing as a young girl and became an accomplished multi-instrumentalist by her early teens.

After releasing her full-length debut Song Up in Her Head at 18 years old, she went on to deliver such critically lauded albums as Follow Me Down, Build Me Up From Bones, and Undercurrent, in addition to joining forces with Sara Watkins and Aoife O’Donovan to form the acclaimed folk trio I’m With Her.

Her fifth studio album, World On The Ground, produced by John Leventhal, went on to win the Grammy award for Best Americana Album.

In 2021 Jarosz released the Grammy-nominated Blue Heron Suite, a much-anticipated song cycle, which she composed after being the recipient of the FreshGrass Composition Commission. She continues to tour in support of both releases.
