Cranky Booking welcomes Caudal back to Antje klesund for their album release show only a few short months after they made their debut appearance at the Cranky Christmas show. Now that spring has decided to show itself it’s going to be an extra reason for celebration at another Cranky Night at everyone’s favourite crumbling palace of indie elegance.
Caudal is the latest project of Aidan Baker, probably the most prolific musician recording music in Berlin today. When he’s not releasing another amazing spacerock/drone album with his partner Leah Buckareff in their band Nadja, he’s off touring his own solo records and the other records he’s released recently which are as numerous as the words in this preview so who knows where he found the time to form this outfit. Self-described as space-math-krautrock, Forever In A Different World is their debut album and was released officially on April 1st on Oaken Palace Records:
Caudal is the new project of Aidan Baker (guitar), Gareth Sweeney (bass), and Felipe Salazar (drums). Their sound can best be described as a mixture of Krautrock, Spacerock, Drone, and even Post-Punk, creating pulsating, psychedelic soundscapes that hypnotize you right from the beginning.
Here’s one of the album:
Francis Plagne is from Melbourne and makes some incredibly beautiful pop music which immediately brings The Beatles to mind, gorgeous, lush pop songs like these below. He’ll be joined by Ned Collette for this show on bass.
Alice In The Cities are a Berlin-based french post-rock duo who formed in 2012. Specialising in playing imaginary film scores this duo wear their influences proudly on their sleeves, everything from Mogwai to Explosions In The Sky to Sigur Ros:
Created in 2012, Alice in the Cities is a Berlin-based project playing instrumental compositions for imaginary film scores. With a minimal instrumentation, the post rock of Alice in the Cities catches directly the listener with a simple rhythm or melody. Then, the band develops a subtle cinematic universe rich in layers of sounds, but also inspiring a constant forward movement, just like a road movie.
Here’s one called Portland:
