[bandcamp width=100% height=120 album=2206054285 size=large bgcol=ffffff linkcol=0687f5 tracklist=false artwork=small]Aidan Baker is a classically-trained multi-instrumentalist but uses the electric guitar as his primary instrument. Using prepared and alternate methods of playing the guitar, along with various electronic effects, Baker creates music which generally falls within the ambient/experimental genre but draws on influences from rock, electronic, classical, and jazz. A highly prolific artist, Baker has released numerous recorded works, both solo and with various group projects—most notably his dreamsludge duo project, Nadja—on such independent labels as Gizeh Records, Important Records, Alien8 Recordings, and his own imprint, Broken Spine Productions. Baker is also the author of several books of poetry. A regular live performer, Baker has toured extensively around the world, including appearances at such international festivals as FIMAV, SXSW, Incubate, Unsound, and Mutek, among others. Originally from Toronto, Canada, Baker currently resides in Berlin, Germany.
Marlais plays traditional folk songs from the British Isles that are given electric clothing and shape shifted into new configurations. Time-honoured melodies are sung over warm drones, drawn out keys and a rich tapestry of samples that form the basis of a heady mix.
