Event details
Let’s Eat Grandma released their second album, I’m All Ears, in 2018 to a blaze of critical glory. They won Album of the Year at the Q Awards, toured relentlessly and played a life-changing set at Coachella.
Now they return with their new album Two Ribbons: a dazzling, heart-breaking, life-affirming and mortality-facing record that reveals their growing artistry and ability to parse intense feeling into the most potent lyrics.
Co-produced with David Wrench (The xx, Frank Ocean, Marika Hackman), the album contains the future prog-pop sheen explored on their prior album, but also blended with more organic instrumentation that balances out the dancefloor fillers. In its bravery and intent, it is nothing short of a classic. It treads a fine line expressing the most intimate feelings, whilst making space for the different perspectives of two women.

Reserve your placeThe new album ‘Ourselves, as we are’ from Carlos Cipa sees nine short piano pieces, created in ultimately just a few weeks, as a "conscious introspection", a kind of zooming in on the object of contemplation. Cipa took one other decisive conceptual approach: to play as quietly as possible. The fascinating result is nothing less than the discovery of a new piano sound world, which according to Cipa, allows “an even deeper empathy with the instrument”. As Cipa points out, “Today, it can be more radical to make a quiet piano album than a totally complex and intricate piece of music.” Undoubtedly, the multifaceted sound palette and disarmingly raw and fragile emotional elements make the music of ‘Ourselves’. In the age of fake authenticity, remakes, and pieces commissioned for high-reach mood playlists, this approach is perhaps one of the few remaining ways to create art: to reveal our true selves. Radically personal. Radically intimate. Radically honest.

Reserve your placeSTONE are Fin Power (vocals/guitar), Sarah Surrage (bass), Elliot Gill (lead guitar) and Alex Smith (drums). In true Gen Z fashion, STONE are a diffusion of the limitless cultures and subcultures they’ve had access to growing up in the digital age. Self-identifying as ‘The underground voice for the lost youth’, they blend the thrill of frenetic rock’n’roll with more intimate exploration of the Gen-Z experience, coming of age during a politically fraught time. Grounded by Power’s post-punk spoken-vocals, songs like ‘Waste’ and ‘Stupid’ race with instrumentational energy, as rewarding to mosh to as they are to emotionally absorb. A live version of 2020 single ‘Leave It Out’ marked the band’s first moment of online buzz, displaying the kind of pent-up rambunctiousness that shapes their sound. When the pandemic came, they kept the momentum; securing a live agent, they began planning out a meticulous string of festivals and support slots, giving both themselves and new fans alike something to look forward to. Their formidable live presence has piqued the interest of some of music’s biggest stars, also striving to create places where kids can go to let their emotions free. YungBlud personally requested that they join him on his 2021 tour, while Sam Fender had them perform at his Finsbury Park show, streaming their set on his Instagram page. Never ones to waste an opportunity, a recent weekend saw them head to Malaga in between blistering sets at Reading and Leeds 2022 to play Away From Home festival; with a huge audience in attendance, STONE’s music resonated just as thoroughly in Spain as it has in the UK, reflecting the universalities of their message. They’re now signed to Polydor, honing their debut EP, and with an Inhaler support tour on the way.
