Unmissable Nights Out at The Fringe

With each release, Lime Garden continue to further their reputation as ‘ones to watch’ - with a host of tips behind them from NME to The Independent, BBC 6music to KEXP, and even Johnny Marr to Hayley Williams.&nbsp;Across Maybe Not Tonight, the exhilarating second album from Lime Garden (released via So Young Records), the intensity of the Brighton four-piece’s writing winds itself into bolts from the blue. The pleasures and perils of partying serve as a thematic through-line, tracking the arc of a night out where unplanned adventures hold sway, fresh impulses are inhabited feverishly, and only the rush matters.“Being bolder and not shying away from our experiences, that’s what this album sounds like to us,” says lead guitarist Leila Deeley, who forms Lime Garden alongside Chloe Howard (singer, guitar), plus Annabel Whittle (drums, production) and Tippi Morgan (bass). “It’s a real statement. Listening to it should feel like a big punch in the face!” Produced by Charlie Andrew (Wolf Alice, alt-J), with additional production from drummer Annabel Whittle, Maybe Not Tonight reflects the band’s rapid evolution. Glitchy vocal fragments, hypnotic drum lines, garage-rock guitars, detuned synths and even bongos weave together into immersive, richly detailed songs. Many began life as Whittle’s home-produced demos, drawing influence from Bon Iver, A.G. Cook, and Jim-E Stack, while pulling from a wide pool of inspirations including Magdalena Bay, The Breeders, St. Vincent, and New Order. Maybe Not Tonight sees four young women band together to find their own conviction in unsteady circumstances, producing their most intoxicating and luminous material to date. Where their critically-acclaimed 2024 debut One More Thing bottled the live energy they built a reputation for at festivals like Glastonbury and Green Man, its follow-up expands their signature brand of “wonk-pop” upwards and outwards.Across the record, particularly on tracks like ‘Body’, ‘Lifestyle’ and ‘All Bad Parts’, Lime Garden confront the uneasy process of trying to change personal habits and face uncomfortable truths. “Part of the ethos of the record is about addressing, rather than ignoring, all the shitty things you’ve done,” Howard explains. “You have to actually face up to yourself.” At its core, Maybe Not Tonight is a communal outpouring: “By making this record, we’ve come back to what it felt like when we started the band. When we were 17 and thought we were the shit, and nobody could tell us different. We’ve got this fresh feeling that we deserve to be here. That’s a special thing.”

The Franco-Moroccan artist Sophia Djebel Rose distills a singular music that is a rare treat to experience. Blending folk, noise, experimental song, and avant-garde poetry, she invents a new language of her own.&nbsp;Born into the perpetual exile of a childhood divided between two countries, Sophia has turned wandering into her greatest strength. As a modern poetess, she now takes the stage alone, armed with an electric guitar and an harmonium, to sing of the beauty of the lands she has ceaselessly left behind. Her live performances intertwine Mediterranean music with ecological and feminist themes, all of it carried by a syncretic approach that merges into a mysticism meant as an invitation to break the course of things and to reclaim one’s strength.

The Hug and Pint

Annie-Claude Deschênes embraces multidisciplinarity in her quest to merge music and performance art, challenging stage conventions. A prominent figure in Montreal&#39;s independent music scene for over twenty years, she gained recognition as the frontwoman of the cult bands Duchess Says and PyPy. Annie&#39;s solo project marks a shift from sheer aggression to dystopian disco vibes. Inspired by minimal pop and electronic pioneers, her debut album, LES MANIÈRES DE TABLE, is both danceable and disquieting, reexamining social codes of politeness.

Inspired mainly by her own spirit, and Bjork, Aldous Harding, Judee Sill, Paul Simon and with the limbs of a young David Byrne; Irish artist Ae Mak (Aoife McCann) has been creating what her friends describe as “nursery rhymes for adults”, producing genre-defying other-worldly pop music with industrial beats and charging them into visceral - kinetic stage shows.&nbsp; She has performed across Europe &amp; the UK; supported bands such as Ye Vagabonds, TuneYards, Django Django, Warpaint and performed at festivals such as Fusion, Reading &amp; Leeds, Latitude, KEXP; Icelandic Airwaves and Electric Picnic. Her songwriting led her to signing a worldwide publishing deal with BDI Music UK in 2019.&nbsp;﻿Having released a plethora of self-produced EPs, done the Berlin and done the L.A thing, and made a couple of cartoon albums;&nbsp; She has just released her debut record “Folk Songs For Mama &amp; Papa”&nbsp; A cosmical, spiritual - folk work.&nbsp;A “return to voice”.&nbsp; “Folk Songs For Mama &amp; Papa is a big record stitched together from small moments of wonder and joy.” - “A gorgeously fragile deep dive into the furthest realms of outsider pop - she sounds like a soprano serenading the end of the world” - Hotpress Magazine “It is lamenting, folk-induced, genre bending. Tender and soulful. It is a testament to what grows from eliminating excess noise, stripping songwriting back to the soulful springs of piano and voice” - The Goo

Celtic Connections: Sam Grassie

The duo of Scottish folk musician Alasdair Roberts and Norwegian experimental musician Fredrik Rasten fuses their respective work with traditional music, folk song and microtonal minimalism. Their first encounter was in the septet Alasdair Roberts &amp;amp; Völvur, which released the LP The Old Fabled River on Drag City Records in 2021.The record combined Roberts’s compositions with versions of Scottish and Norwegian traditional songs. On Seven Weathers, their forthcoming double album for Drag City Records, Roberts and Rasten focus on traditional Scottish narrative ballads, typically of long duration, where slowly evolving musical materials build up throughout the strophic verse-structure to emphasise the storytelling. They choose ballads with care, favouring time-transcending narrative themes that both bear witness to the day and age of their origin and are relevant to our times, be thatpolitically, culturally or ethically. Both sing and play a variety of acoustic and electronic instruments, Roberts’s clear and unadorned vocal delivery blending with Rasten’s sensibilities of just intonation tuning and timbral qualities of sound.
