SARA LOV (The Devics / USA)

Event information

SARA LOV

Sara is the frontwoman of indie favourite dream pop band DEVICS, who were famously signed to Bella Union by COCTEAU TWINS’ Simon Raymond.

It is perhaps because of the success of DEVICS that LOV finds the idea of going out on her own exciting. “I learn every day and doing scary things makes me grow,” Lov says. “Dustin (O’Halloran, the other half of DEVICS) and I make wonderful music together, but like every creative person there’s always that insistent urge to write both music and lyrics for yourself, test yourself, challenge yourself.”

LOV views much of her life in a similar way – taking something frightening that could have overwhelmed others, and making it a positive influence on her life and music. At the age of five, the Hawaiian-born LOV was kidnapped by her father and taken to Israel, then Minnesota, and then ended up in L.A. at age 12 where she was raised by her uncle.

Her debut album 'Seasoned Eyes Were Beaming' was produced by Zac Rae (FIONA APPLE, ANNIE LENNOX, MY BRIGHTEST DIAMOND) and mixed by Darrell Thorp (RADIOHEAD, BECK), and featuring cameos from Alex Brown Church (SEA WOLF) and Solon Bixler (GREAT NORTHERN).

For an artist who was curious about recording and performing on her own, LOV has proven she had little to be concerned about. Anyone that listens to 'Seasoned Eyes Were Beaming' are certain to be just as pleased.

LE B

Support comes from the simply great LE B, one of the best femme Folk artists you'll get to hear in the UK. LE B is also a member of the very special KING ALEXANDER.

LE B has recently completed her debut EP 'Good Fortune Sounds' which will be released on March 9th on the fantastic Finders Keepers spin-off Bird Records.

Pocket melodic tantrums and slackly strummed sweetness sit side by side on this debut self-assembled collection of unpolished peons from Cardiff based LE B ( Laura Elizabeth Bryon).

Recorded in one room with one mic in one take with one objective and a thousand ideas. This seven-track sketchbook captures a rare artist in her natural habitat devoid of pretension or overproduction with an awkward and ambrosial tone that begs urgently and comforts casually.

Inspired by love, loss and late night adventures LE B's saccharine songsmithery is presented on the finest mechanical medium, limited edition 500 only 7" vinyl, which includes a version of the English Folk standard "The Trees They Do Grow High".

Be sure to bring a few bob extra on the night, as I am sure LE B will have copies for sale direct.
