S O H N

London-born and Vienna-based musician SOHN drops The Wheel EP in November 5th, 2012 via new label Aesop.
S O H N has created a sound that blends his haunting vocal stylings with a backdrop of analogue drum machines and synths, mixing the worlds of old and new together to create a foundation for his tracks. Aside from emphasising the soulfulness of his voice, S O H N's lyrics play upon the space that exists within language, twining his vocals around the gaps between sentences, and reclaiming the importance of words.

They formed in February 2008 out of the ashes of various local groups and very swiftly found that they were a perfect soundclash. Vocalist Joe da Costa is a front man as pushy as they come, bedroom techhead keyboardist Johny Tams is a producer/programmer boffin in the making, nascent guitar God Nick Rowson, bass provider George Longworth and 19 year old boy-wonder sticksman Will Ritson all disagree about more music than they agree on but when the five of them are in the room together...

El Ten Eleven

El Ten Eleven is a Los Angeles-based instrumental rock duo consisting of Kristian Dunn and Tim Fogarty. What separates El Ten Eleven from their musical peers is that they are only two musicians on stage creating pounding landscapes of sound with no laptops or sequencers. Dunn switches off (sometimes mid-song) between a double-neck bass/guitar and a fretless bass, while his feet dance on an extensive floorboard of looping devices and effects pedals. He plays everything live, loops himself and juggles all the layers of tracks on top of each other.
