LOVE INKS (live) and UMA (live)

We Broke Free DJS

FREE ENTRY

8.30PM-1AM

Love Inks is a minimalist pop group making music that harkens back to early 80s UK (Marine Girls, Young Marble Giants) and David Lynch’s Roadhouse.



The group’s sleek, needle-precise sound comes distinctly from Austin, Texas. It is a combination of guitar, played quietly but as if from a 12-foot deep well, and bass, creating both tension and melodic release when necessary, in conjunction with an electronic drum machine. The triangle is only completed by Sherry LeBlanc’s voice, which leads the listener through every song — whether it be mellow or dark.



These three elements together make up LOVE INKS. Their use of silence and their approach to instrumentation, while sometimes coming across as confrontational, makes their music direct and sincere.



Minimalist Texas trio Love Inks’ sleepy, sultry night-time music is rarely anything less than beguiling

UMA

UMA is a producer-couple from Berlin that cuts crystal clear post-trip-hop tracks from a wide array of avant-garde influences. With one hand on the midi-controller and the other one on the forehead, they combine post-internet romanticism with fractal beat cascades - but they never lose touch with all the fragile borders that define the perfect pop song.



Recent performances have included Field Day (London), Nuits Sonores Festival (Lyon), Sonar Festival (Barcelona) as well as support shows for Coco Rosie, Anna v. Hausswolff, Young Fathers, Neneh Cherry and many more.
