mike lindsay presents supershapes the band
feat. Anna B Savage & more special guests and support from Yama Warashi (solo)
Tues 10 Sept, doors 7.30pm
South Street is delighted to welcome back Mike Lindsay (Tunng, LUMP) as he sets out on a UK tour in support of his exciting new album project supershapes: volume 1. Mike will be backed by a band of special guests including Anna B Savage, who lends her distinctive vocals to the LP and brand new single 'lie down' (out now).
The new album - his debut as a solo artist - will be released by Moshi Moshi in June. It’s the first instalment in a series of records from the Mercury Prize-winning producer and mixing engineer (who’s also the co-founder of UK acid folktronica band Tunng, and one half of electronic alt-psych duo LUMP, with Laura Marling), a series that explores “the miraculous in the mundane”. Volume 1 looks widely at “everyday domestic objects, especially tables, coffee table books, and the daily rituals that shape us, heavily focusing on the majestic in the domestic”.
Lindsay built the foundation of 'supershapes volume 1' at his 120-year-old dining table. Inspired by his wife Lily’s MA studies in fine art, Lindsay mulled over the idea that objects have memories and their own consciousness.
“This record is one that I’m very proud of. I hope we can turn it into an incredible live experience with all of us, even just for a few special shows. I hope that people are immersed by the record and feel the journey.”
Support comes from Yama Warashi (solo), who has performed at South Street on a couple of occasions previously including playing our much loved festival DOUBLEDOTBASH!
