A great double bill at Silent Green this April with English guitar innovators Ex-Easter Island Head bringing another performance of their unique percussive style with support from local duo Sun Kit.
Ex-Easter Island Head are a UK-based experimental musical collective composing and performing music for solid body electric guitar, percussion and other instruments. The group plays multiple electric guitars augmented through mechanical preparations and extended techniques, creating hypnotic performances rich in repetition, shimmering drones and melodic invention through purposefully limited means.
The group’s most recent album Norther (2024) was named “album of the year” by Europe’s independent culture website, The Quietus. An interview in the same year for The Guardian described their music as “amongst the boldest experiments in British music”.
Building on over a decade of activity, Ex-Easter Island Head have long been a cherished part of the UK underground. Functioning variously as a kind of deconstructed rock band, ambient chamber ensemble and minimalist compositional workshop, on ‘Norther’ we find the group combining their wide musical experience into something singular and coherent with a deeply emotional core.
Sun Kit is an experimental band from Berlin, consisting of Jules Reidy (guitar) and Andreas Dzialocha (bass). Their debut album All The Patterns Inside (2024, Hyperdelia) combines spectral guitar and bass sounds with electronics, distortion, and autotune. Inspired by Low, Cocteau Twins, and My Bloody Valentine, Sun Kit creates atmospheric soundscapes between post-rock, pop, and ambient.
