Zack Kouns plays some pretty dark stuff. All messed up. All weird. All different. From neo-folk, to pretty brutal noise, even getting angular occasionally. He’s over from the US, and that’s really nice of him. Also playing with the experimental Alps – whos songs all seem to contain ‘whale’ in their title – and local cultivator/curator/genius/not a dilettante, going by the name of S. Wilson. You might know of her from Terrible Truths and her solo excursions. A fine show, and it’s free. – DG
