Friday, August 22, 19:00adv £15
Taking place from 21-23 August, the line-up of the Summer Forecast sees Ada Lea, GB, and Ryan Davis & the Roadhouse Band heading up three nights of incredible music at North London's live music instiution The Lexington.
Danish musician Gustav Berntsen AKA GB creates experimental music with a pop sensibility. Now splitting his time between Copenhagen and London, his debut record Gusse Music was released in 2024 via Denmark’s Posh Isolation and is a 33-minute symphonic collage of exploratory, guitar-driven songs, melodic hooks, neo-classical string arrangements and ambient interludes that won praise from The Wire, Resident Advisor, NTS, and was listed by Gorilla vs. Bear as one of their top 50 albums of 2024.
The new project from longtime collaborators Max Winter, Will Lister and Imogen Williams (Imogen and the Knife), thredd are teasing their affecting and overdriven sonics via a mixtape on their website you can listen to at thredd.live – and that's all we can tell you about them so far!
Joining Erika de Casier, Astrid Sonne, Clarissa Connelly and Fine Glindvad as another grad from Copenhagen's Rhythmic Music Conservatory, Alba Akvama makes music that blends orchestral midi with open-tuned guitars and jazz-minded chords, drawing the listener into a minimal and loopy universe that feels all together conceptual, eclectic and sincere. The work explores being stuck in time, relationships and unresolved feelings, and the songs could be described as like a single stream of thought, with no emotional resolution, beginning or end. Her first release is set to come this year but she also guested on fellow Forecast guest GB's album Gusse Music.
