Sampler spammer with Ashcircle and Breathing Heavy
Pinned
Very happy to have our new album out on Otoroku.
Out this week on Otoroku, we're delighted to present 'not bad', an intricate and intensely galvanizing release from Breathing Heavy, the saxophone and sampler duo of Sam Andreae and Ciaran Mackle! www.cafeoto.co.uk/shop/breathi...
Coming up this Friday at Hundred Years Gallery.

Jackson is the man!
Out today on Otoroku, a vital, discombobulating set from London-based, Scottish artist, Jackson Burton! www.cafeoto.co.uk/shop/jackson-burton-8525 A heady, compellingly disorientating mix of live-performance, pre-recorded elements and spoken word to create a potent atmosphere all its own.

Been absolutely rinsing this one from a few years back by Klein. Very few artists sounding this 'experimental' these days.

I've spent 12 years going to @cafeotodalston.bsky.social. To say that it has changed my life would be an understatement. It is rare that a few weeks go by without having my mind blown there.

The thought of it not being here is too much to even imagine. Support it if you can!
On the 13th of April Cafe OTO will turn 17. For us to be able to celebrate our 20th Birthday and beyond we need your help. 👉

"Guitar is OVER, everything has been DONE!"

Shut the fuck up, here's Kieran Daly for a full hour:

Kieran Daly at @cafeotodalston.bsky.social last night was the best thing I've seen in years (rest of the line up was banging too). Rare to see something so committed (and so funny). A lesson that there is still road to travel in experimental music.

Show of the year coming up and it's only March!
Super happy to be performing on the same bill as Kieran Daly and Ash Reid at @cafeotodalston.bsky.social this coming Sunday! I’ll be playing a section of Automatic Love (released by Infant Tree around this time last year) with my friend Rory Salter on the floor tom.

This is the business! Some fine fiddlers indeed...
We are excited to bring you the 2nd instalment from our Trad Series.

'A Collection of Slow Airs by Some Very Fine Fiddlers' is exactly what it says in the description. All recorded at home or in intimate live settings by the fiddler themselves.

Very happy (and slightly tickled) to see Breathing Heavy feature in the New Music Show on BBC Radio 3 alongside some very serious music

Still the best band!
Ahead of the release of a documentary film, JR Moores laments Fugazi’s absence yet remains wary of a comeback, offering some “stupid fucking words” on the band that never ceased getting better until they stopped altogether
