Finnish outfit Aves sheds their indie skin on “Transformations”, a deeply personal album that transcends genre expectations. This isn’t your typical indie fare – melancholic guitars and lo-fi aesthetics are swapped for shimmering synths and expansive soundscapes. Here, Aves embraces electronic pop, crafting a sound that feels both familiar and refreshingly new. The album’s heart […]
JUST ANNOUNCED: David Gilmour is doing six nights at London’s Royal Albert Hall in October 2024, to coincide with the release of his new album Luck and Strange, which comes out on September 6th (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/latest/david-gilmour-luck-and-strange-new-album-announced.html). Gilmour and his band will be playing the legendary venue on October 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 14th and 15th, and tickets go on sale next week (full details below). In the recent Uncut interview (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/latest/exclusive-david-gilmour-interview-in-new-uncut-magazine.html) Gilmour talks about the mechanics of sorting out the set list for the tour, which should include the new album, but also selected Pink Floyd songs from over the years. The band is yet to be announced but he notes that “I thought we’d get people who are genuinely creative and give them a little more space. That’s the plan. So we’re going to have some of the younger guys alongside Guy [Pratt] and the Webb Sisters, who sang with Leonard Cohen on his last tours”. It is worth noting that the six shows at London’s Royal Albert Hall are the entirety of his UK performances this time around. We suspect there could be dates in other countries announced in due course. Tickets for these concerts go on sale in two stages. Fans in the UK/Ireland pre-ordering Luck and Strange from the official David Gilmour UK Album Store (https://davidgilmour.com/rah) will get first access to tickets, via an exclusive ticket pre-sale on Thursday 9th May through Ticketmaster UK (https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/david-gilmour-tickets/artist/769001). If you have, or intend to, order from elsewhere, there IS, however, a “No purchase necessary” option you can select at David’s store to get the pre-sale code without having to cancel your existing order. The window to qualify for the pre-sale ends at 3pm UK on Wednesday, May 8th, with all existing pre-orders from the official David Gilmour UK Album Store also eligible. Pre-sale codes will be sent out later that day. Tickets will then go on general sale at 10am UK on Friday, May 10th, through this link at Ticketmaster UK (https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/david-gilmour-tickets/artist/769001). We are sure that demand will be high for these special concerts.
Mild Wild proves authenticity isn’t dead with unapologetically homemade new single “Chain-Link Fence”. Jesse Mild, better known as Mild Wild, is showing the world how it sounds to be a true DIY artist. “Chain-Link Fence” was created almost entirely with thrifted gear (or better yet, stuff found for free in a dumpster) and does well …
