We return with our special listening experience this month with a true musical legend who sadly left us towards the end of last year. Your favourite albums like you've never heard them before, through our d&b audiotechnik sound system in the pitch black. For the 37th edition of the Listening Group we are studying the music of the fantastic Angelo Badalamenti. A true pioneer and someone who has transcended the shows that he made music for. We kick off the night with his first collaboration with David Lynch for the film "Blue Velvet", which alludes to Shostakovich's 15th Symphony, which Lynch had been listening to regularly while writing the screenplay. The score is intertwined with classic vintage pop songs along with Angelo's stunning score. The second listen of the night will be the seminal soundtrack for, arguably the most important television series of the 90s, "Twin Peaks". Another Lynch collaboration, as teh story goes when they sat down to write the score in 1989, they wrote ""Love Theme from Twin Peaks" in 20 minutes and Lynch exclaimed "You just wrote 75% of the score. It is Twin Peaks." Join us at Belgrave and get cosy with us…

**Synopsis**

The antithesis of a rock biography, Anonymous Club paints a raw and intimate picture of enigmatic singer-songwriter, Courtney Barnett, an anti-influencer who is a powerful voice for our times, a recluse acclaimed by audiences the world over and a strong female artist in conflict with herself.

**About the film**

The feature documentary project was initiated in 2018 by Danny Cohen, who has been collaborating for many years with the Brit and Grammy-nominated artist, Courtney Barnett, on her award-winning and highly imaginative music videos. Danny spent three years on tour in Europe, the US and Asia and at home in Melbourne filming with Barnett as a one-man crew, shooting on a 16mm camera, customised to record sync sound.

In tandem with filming, at the suggestion of Danny, the notoriously guarded Courtney Barnett kept an audio diary on an analogue Dictaphone. These unmediated reflections capture Courtney’s internal struggles – from her own confidence and self-perfection, to the pressures of fame, to understanding her place in music and as an artist navigating the world around her.

The London Astrobeat Orchestra have ignited a movement where cult western band repertoires are blended with African influences and have made quite an impact in doing so.

The band bring together the finest West African session musicians in the UK with legendary band leader & bassist Edd Bateman hosting rhythmic influences from Senegal, Guinea Conakry, Mali, Cameroon and Congo. Featuring members from Kanda Bongo Man’s touring line-up with Bel-angeni Jeannot Musumbu on guitar, Felix Ngindu Kasanganyi on drums, blues rock and astropheric soundscaping guitarist and vocalist Londoner Julian Burdock, and renowned Guinean Master Griot kora player ‘Mosi Conde’.

Selling out their first 4 debut shows at The Jazz Café, London, the band were affectionately nicknamed the ‘African Talking Heads’. When you con-sider the afrobeat vibes, that run through all the best Talking Heads al-bums, it’s both appropriate & correct that this collective of musicians, from West Africa, Europe & beyond should offer this completely unique take, of the finest of Mr David Byrne & Co’s timeless compositions and has received critical acclaim.

**Chiedu Oraka**

Undeniable flows. Stand out confidence. Lyrical intensity. Raw honesty. Welcome to Chiedu Oraka.

Since emerging onto the scene from his native city of Hull, Chiedu is undoubtedly one of the most exciting voices in grime and UK rap. A string of straight up classics include 'Flex’, ‘Men Behaving Badly’ and the hit single ‘Darcy’, which sits in the top 10 longest tracks to feature on the Grime Shutdown playlist, holding its own for over 300 days running.

2021 marked the start of broad new horizons for 'The Black Yorkshireman', having exploded into the year with the acclaimed EP Ave Life. Highlights include the autobiographical masterclass ‘The Trials and Tribulations of C.E.O.’, the anthemic bravado ‘G Finger’ (named as Charlie Sloth's Hood Heat Track of the Week), and the deep nostalgia of ‘Ave Life'. Meanwhile the formidable Helly Hansen freestyle series is grabbing attention and gaining momentum, with ‘Helly Hansen 4’ featuring proudly on the EP.

With Chiedu Oraka having confirmed his position as a premier UK lyrical talent, all eyes are now on The Black Yorkshireman to see what’s up and where’s next.

**Hang Linton**

"Splicing avant-funk, dance punk & breakbeats, Hang Linton is an interdisciplinary artist based in Leeds. After cutting their teeth in Berlin across multiple projects & collectives, Hang has landed on home soil & is ready to make his mark.

Their art is a rebellion against clean aesthetics, inspired by past experiences, changing global events & the ugliness in the world. It's not pretty - but it's important & Hang will make sure you enjoy the ride.

Armed with a setup of a sampler, synths & visuals, Hang bends your ear around the counterculture sounds & movements that have shaped him."

**PHENICIA**

PHENICIA is bringing a fresh sound and wholesome lyrics, influenced by alternative hip-hop, early 90s boombap soul and jazz. Accompanied by their all star band featuring drummer Luca Ferrara, bassist Woody, Latin man Gustavo Andrade on Sax, keys player Jacob Hargreaves and the Leeds Queen of RockSoul Mica Sefia BV’s.

William Basinski is a classically trained musician and composer who has been working in experimental media for over 30 years in NYC and most recently, California. Employing obsolete technology and analogue tape loops, his haunting and melancholy soundscapes explore the temporal nature of life and resound with the reverberations of memory and the mystery of time. His epic 4-disc masterwork, The Disintegration Loops received international critical acclaim and was chosen as one of the top 50 albums of 2004 by Pitchfork Media.

The Temporary Residence deluxe LP box-set reissue from 2012 was awarded best re-issue of the year and a score of 10 on Pitchfork. Installations and films made in collaboration with artist-filmmaker, James Elaine have been presented in festivals and museums internationally, and his concerts are presented to sold out crowds around the world.

As with all of Iceage’s albums, whether it be the sensual daring-do of their dark-hardcore masterpiece debut, the Flying Nun-dappled “Oi!!!!” of You’re Nothing, the shift to cowpunk gothic romanticism on Plowing Into the Field of Love, or the space truckin’ gospel-rock of their most recent albums, Elias Bender Rønnenfelt, Johan Suurballe Wieth, Jakob Tvilling Pless and Dan Kjær Nielsen make the impossible seem effortless. Shake The Feeling: Outtakes & Rarities 2015-2021, the band’s second full length for Mexican Summer, is a collection of non-LP cuts (or “misfit children,” as Elias describes them) from the seven years during which Iceage made Plowing Into the Field of Love (2014), Beyondless (2018), and Seek Shelter (2021).

Acclaimed composer, artist, and producer Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith returns to Ghostly International with her most ambitious, intuitive, and inviting work to date. Though ambient and modern new age circles have embraced Smith’s catalog, Let's Turn It Into Sound favors a more baroque and robust form of avant-pop. Across vibrant and visceral songs, Smith engages an inner community with awe and curiosity, expressing a feeling that words alone cannot. The music bursts with vertiginous vocal harmonies and detailed sound design, forming a truly unique sonic vision, illustrated further by her use of a motion-capture suit for the record's visuals.
