Mixing catchy baroque pop licks with an intoxicating blend of Brazilian beats, Bacharach and Brian Wilson, Sean O’Hagan and company set the bar high and surpass it every time. With a love for mixing modular synths and lo fi electronica with sweeping string arrangements, jazzy guitar and harps, The High Llamas are a Beach Boys for the beep generation. Support comes from Manchester’s Starless and Bible Black who stir torch song, bluesy chanson and vintage folk-jazz with early electronic music influences.
This concert begins at 8pm.
