Unquiet Desperation Presents: Bung's & Bears 22/07: Au Revoir Simone & more

[Unquiet]

"They pass under Brooklyn Bridge. There's a humming whine of electric trains over their heads, an occasional violet flash from the wet rails. Behind them beyond barges tugboats carferries the tall buildings, streaked white with whisps of steam and mist, tower gray into sagged clouds."

 

'Manhattan Transfer (1925)'- John Dos Passos (American novelist)

 

To help us make the most of our first birthday...Au Revoir Simone have left the great metropolis of New York to begin promoting their new album, visiting us on July 22nd...

 

UNQUIET DESPERATION PRESENTS...

 

 

AU REVOIR SIMONE

 

This beautiful and talented New York trio are truly enchanting. An effortless grace and elegance floats through their ethereal synth-pop. Their lyrics and harmonies display both innocent romance, and at times a haunting loneliness. Having recently lent their gorgeous vocals to Aeroplane's remix of Friendly Fires' 'Paris' and Shinichi Osawa's 'Star Guitar', Au Revoir Simone's next port of call is Bungalows in July to showcase songs from their new album 'Still Night, Still Light'...

BRIGHT LIGHT BRIGHT LIGHT

 

A dreamlike happiness runs through BLBL's sumptuous music. Whether it's the luminous night lights of the city, or that brightest of lights that warms the back of your neck on a summer's afternoon, BLBL's music has much the same effect. Beautiful, warming and smile-producing...

SPOKES

 

After unfortunately being unable to play in May, we've invited one of the most phenomenally talented bands in the country back for July. Quickly snapped up by NINJA TUNE, Spokes combine sweeping melodies, with densley textured instrumentation, to create a swirling, dancing sound that most bands can only dream of. A sound "as natural to the band as breathing" (Drowned In Sound)

Truly breathtaking...
