Acid Glasses
Who: The worryingly youthful Nick Burk is Acid Glasses, a serotonin harvester from Memphis, Tennessee.
Why: The breathy, ethereal My Pale Garden sounds like Atlas Sound were it lost floating about in the mind of Shuggie Otis, and he plays one of the weekend's many debut UK shows.
When: Sunday
Acid Glasses - My Pale Garden by Two Tap DigitalHalls
Who: Another disconcertingly fresh-faced solo musical node, this time from the rather more familiar territory of South London.
Why: His sparse fragments of the overwhelmingly eerie sound something like Gold Panda had he landed in Japan to be greeted with destruction and disappointment, his greatest affection brutally crushed and with it his desire to construct anything in any way elating.
When: Saturday
Swan (Nobody Wants To Know) by Halls
Sun Glitters
Who: Luxembourg's Victor Ferreira.
Why: His meditative mixtapes clock in at far longer than he's likely to be gifted at Binnacle, so seeing how many songs and samples Ferreira can cram in on the day ought to intrigue. Furthermore we're not usually fed much of Luxembourg's musical output for consumption although on the evidence of Sun Glitters that trend probably ought to be bucked... Stream his Binnacle Mixtape below to your heart's content.
When: Saturday
Sun Glitters // Binnacle Mixtape by Sun Glitters
Carousels
Who: Nick Benton and Lucy Wilson are Carousels, and as they hail from Cambridge/Guildford, they too offer a sonic glimpse into largely unknown territories.
Why: While nigh on every act on the bill can be stuffed into the warm fuzz of the dreampop label, Carousels channel a bleary-eyed, Psychocandy-flavoured snugness that's been gorgeously gnarled around the edges. Here To Me features superlative harmonies and astral guitars that flitter between crunchy and celestial frequencies.
When: Sunday
HERE TO ME by Carousels
Jewellers
Who: Gareth. Gareth.
Why: If you've ever trundled down to South Wales aboard a First Great Western chugger, you'll have moseyed on through Newport. If it may have seemed an inconsequential stop-off, the swathes of sweltering waves committed to Tape by Jewellers may change any preconceptions of irrelevance. The track is lifted from the superlative Sleep Education LP, out now on boutique label The Sounds Of Sweet Nothing.
When: Saturday
Tape by Jewellers
patten
Who: Enigmatic painter of truly breathtaking, schizophrenic soundscapes.
Why: Not only was recent LP GLAQJO XAACSSO a confounding work of brilliance, but its remixed follow-up, its twisted sibling JLAGQO CSOAAXS came with a pronunciation guide and its title in phonemes (glakʒəʊ zaksəʊ for those further fascinated, which I'd guess is everyone).
When: Sunday
JLAGQO CSOAAXS by patten
Torches
Who: London quartet who just dished out their debut vid this morning.
Why: While VTOO (above) oozes anthemic gloom and sounds akin to frYars fronting TVOTR, it's the rough, rambunctious, and ultimately portentous Towerblock Confetti that sets up shop in your left temporal lobe.
When: Sunday
Torches - Towerblock Confetti by .Torches.
