Robedoor + Sand Circles

Robedoor’s ominous post-apocalyptic psych-drone comes straight from the founder of Not Not Fun Records Britt Brown. Lulling you into a false sense of hope are Swedish Not Not Fun signees Sand Circles and their woozy cinematic soundscapes.

Attend event:

For the past decade or so, prolific LA duo Robedoor, comprised of Alex Brown Not Not Fun label head Britt Brown, has been churning out slabs of relentlessly heavy, distorted, bass-driven drone music. While their early work was heavily improvised, over time they’ve charted more song-oriented territories. 2010’s Burners and 2011’s Too Down to Die saw them expand to a trio, with Ged Gengras’ explosive drumming adding a touch of doom metal and blues to their already menacing mix. Gengras has since left the band, replaced by more primitive electronic beats and a shift in focus away from catharsis-oriented songwriting. On their latest album, the ominous and unforgiving Primal Sphere, they march like doomed but determined soldiers across a scorched, post-apocalyptic landscape. Kick off your night with a false sense of hope in the form of Sweden Not Not Fun signee Sand Circles’ woozy cinematic soundscapes, reminiscent of the new Boards of Canada album, as heard from the bottom of a swimming pool.
