WHIP + BLINDFOLD + MY KAPPA ROOTS + ACOUSTIC ONODA
Thursday 8th December, Henry's Cellar Bar, 8 Morrison Street,
Edinburgh
Doors 7.30pm
WHIP is the solo project of Timesbold's Jason Merritt, and functions
as an outlet for some of his less band-orientated musings; those that
are better served by more sparse, minimal arrangements. His second
album, "Atheist Lovesongs to God" is out on Resonant.
'Bare-wire folk songs delivered in a tremulous voice that runs a
close second to Will Oldham's in it's ability to evoke both
desolation and resigned world-weariness'. The Wire
"Pretty much a perfect album; equal parts comfort, pain, hope and
confusion, Atheist Lovesongs to God is a collection of real songs
that will crawl under your skin and make their home there'.

BLINDFOLD is the alias of Biggi from Ampop, and is the latest in a
long line of Icelandic artists to record for Resonant (eg. Stafraenn
Hakon, who also plays on Blindfold's album).
Blindfold plays serene atmospheric electronica with an acoustic
element - melodic but backed with sparse, emotive, organic, textured
arrangements, coming across on the whole as understated, warm and
earnest.
