PEARL HANDLED REVOLVER

Issue 164

Whether it’s the post-punk band causing chaos on Camden Lock or the Wooten-esque jazz-funk bass lines echoing from a Chalk Farm bar, all roads seem to be guiding the musically curious to Camden tonight.

- DAN PEEKE

And those roads are blurred by the desert dust that Teiger bring with them. From frontwoman Talie Rose Eigeland's flamboyant gunslinger outfit to the shimmer of tremolo-soaked flamenco chords in Sahara, it feels like a duel is imminent and they're providing the soundtrack.

Despite the grainy nostalgia their sound evokes, there's something futuristic in there too. Eigeland's widescreen guitar tone sounds industrial and fuzzy, yet pivots effortlessly into Tool-style riffs. Her off-kilter toplines during Bloodwork wander between disconcerting intervals and remain intentionally unresolved.

PELAGIC FEST

Once a record label showcase held now and again in Berlin, Pelagic Fest has flourished into a bona fide annual getaway for progressive music fans. For the second year in a row, it's taking up two days at Muziekgieterij, a club in the sleepy Dutch city of Maastricht renowned for its sound quality and state-of-the-art light shows. The bill is dominated, as ever, by artists signed to the Pelagic roster, but with This Will Destroy You and Ihsahn headlining, this is by far the biggest and most diverse lineup to date.

JO QUAIL

There's no pomposity to the opening with the release of Jo Quail's seventh studio album, Notan. Even though her music is elegant and refined, the cellist has no airs or graces - she's seen soundchecking herself and chatting with the audience pre-show, a white hoodie slung over her long black dress.

SYMPHONY X

During the encore of Symphony X's LA concert, vocalist Russell Allen - a California native - tells the sold-out crowd why he left his home state 35 years ago. After finishing high school, he says, he began working as a knight on horseback at a local medieval-themed dinner theatre. When the company opened a sister location across the country, Allen was one of the employees sent east to help get the new business up and running. It was supposed to be a six-month deployment, he explains, but while he was there he “met a Jersey girl” and never returned.
