On Norway Day, following on from last year’s successful Icelandic music showcase, Melting Vinyl and The Great Escape bring you the finest of the Norwegian scene.
Sat. 17th May 11pm-1.30am LATE SHOW
ANN BRUN + NILS BECH + SILJE NES
Duke of Yorks Picturehouse, Preston Circus, Brighton
Tickets: Free for TGE wristband holders. Limited number of £5 tickets. Available from Duke of York’s Box Office: 0871 704 2056 / Rounder Records: 01273 325440 / Resident: 01273 606312
Headlining will be Ann Brun. Produced by Valgeir Sigurdsson (Björk, Sigur Ros, Múm, Bonnie Prince Billy, Coco Rosie, Maps) her songs are surprising, at times strange, and they strike a nerve somewhere between bird-flight beauty and brooding melancholy with a haunting quality embedded in her melodies. Then Nils Bech. Bech is an integral part of the Norwegian art and music scene. Accompanied by a saxophonist he combines sparse acapella versions of contemporary and classical music with well-crafted electronica in a conceptual stage show laced with cabaret and contemporary dance. And last up Silje Nes. Newly signed to Fatcat Records, Silje delicately layers up twinkling melodies and ghostly electronics alongside her celestial other worldly vocals.
