The Blood Choir Perform at Moles on Saturday 26th May
Posted on: 28 Apr 2018Post rock duo The Blood Choir are to break their six year hiatus by returning with new album ‘Houses of The Sun’ and a short series of UK gigs including one at Moles, Bath on Saturday 26th May.
*** GET TICKETS HERE ***
Robin Maddicott and Joe Mountain originally formed The Blood Choir in Bristol, but now record from their separate bases in Denmark and the UK. This album comes as the follow up to their debut 2012 record ‘No Windows to the Old World’ and is recommended for fans of Mogwai, Talk Talk and Radiohead. The gig will be a preview of their most recent work, coming ahead of their album release in June.
The duo started recording material in 2009 for an EP which ultimately went unreleased, but nonetheless gained the attention of many people in the music scene and led to their first album which was co-produced by Tim Oliver and was released through record labels IRL and Top Cat Music.
Following this, the band toured with Arbouretum in 2012 and opened for Silver Apples, The Handsome Family, Dylan Carlson and The Magic Band.
The artists returned to the studio in early 2013 with producers Tom Dalgety (Pixies, Opeth) and Jon Walker (Arcane Roots, The Heavy) to begin work on their soon to be released new album.
They describe their style as “a unique amalgam of elements: arena rock, Norwegian style ambience, noise-pop, metal, and emotive singer-songwriting”.
The night will also feature performances from Port Erin, alt-rock band Meeking and jazzy melodies of The Harry Miller Band. You can check out the event on Facebook here or have a listen to The Blood Choir here.
Doors will be open from 7pm. Tickets are £6 when bought in advance.
The event is 14+ (Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult) and tickets include free entry to the club night for those over 18.
Moles is located at 14 George St, Bath, BA1 2EN.
