As a duo, Kjetil Brandsdal (Noxagt, Ultralyd, No Balls) and Thore Warland (Staer, Golden Oriole, Tørrfall, Plan Affine) have released a series of albums exploring a broad spectrum of historical musical sources. Their fifth album will be released at this concert. In Hebbex D’expectatio Expectata, they continue this exploration, now joined by Helge Thornes, who brings influences from dancehall and psychobilly (Troubletone Soundsystem, HBX Crew, Oransjt Mareritt). The lyrics delve into Aubrey Beardsley’s unfinished novels, Roman tragedies, and Norwegian newspaper journalism.
Jules Reidy, one of the most prominent and exciting guitarists in Berlin’s contemporary music scene, returns to Only Connect. Their extensive catalogue spans solo projects and groundbreaking collaborations with artists such as claire rousay, Oren Ambarchi, Andrea Belfi, and Sam Dunscombe. The new solo album, Ghost/Spirit, takes listeners on a deeply personal journey through love, transformation, and spirituality—expressed through fractal guitar patterns, ethereal vocal layers, and flowing microtonal textures.
