“The spontaneity, creativity, and skill mostly come from how Dowse uses his equipment, not how well the equipment can shape him”.

On Sat 17 Feb at Creative Folkestone Quarterhouse get ready for the guitar legend Thick Drizzle, a solo side project of South London band Dry Cleanings’s Tom Dowse.
Dowse’s work as part of Dry Cleaning ranges from “walls of noise and scratchy riffs” to “heavenly soundscapes, and squeals that sound more like animals than instruments”.
Through his project Thick Drizzle, he weaves finger-picked guitar in the vein of Karen Dalton and John Fahey, through his sweeping vocals bringing to mind contemporaries like Richard Dawson and Mount Eerie/The Microphones.

His songs are a cosmology of folklore and personal myth that conjure a sense of place both real and imagined. Augmented by soundscapes sculpted using tape loops and field recordings, Thick Drizzle seeks to bring to life a world of its own.

We’re so excited to be back in Folkestone and celebrating our tenth year with this newest installment of Profound Sound Festival Folkestone with our dear colleagues and so many amazing artists.

We have a new Five In Five. Would have posted about it last night but Chris and I were out A+R-ing at different ends of the country...

It's George from Hot Salvation - an amazing distro, check them for radical sounds (you need the Meitei records, for instance). He was also in November Coming Fire, the raging Kent hardcore band from back in the day. George technically picks five records, just about. The rules are being stretched but that's punk rock and we're good with that. Cheers for doing it George!

Five in Five - a weekly series, every Thursday, 7pm. If you think you should do one, get in touch.

“One of the UK’s most compelling bands, Modern Technology return with an even stronger example of their filthy and raucous eccentrics on Conditions of Worth. Nobody is making ‘noise’ like this in the UK today” 9/10 – Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life

“The national sludge, doom and noise scene is in brilliant form right now, and Modern Technology stand as one of its finest ambassadors. The group’s new LP Conditions Of Worth is a testament to that.” – Noizze

“There’s no fun or piss-taking here. Only despair, and on Conditions of Worth, Clarke and Gildersleeve may have found their natural habitat.” – Sun 13

“Their death knell for a self-obsessed society, where we consume endlessly until we’re literally bursting at the seams and leaving behind nothing but drought, famine, and waste.” – CVLT Nation

“The ensuing sharp snap of the snare and the immensity of the low-end punch and the gravel-chewing bass riffage shoved me back on my mental heels. Harsh enough to take the shine off steel.” – NO CLEAN SINGING

“Conditions of Worth is more than just heavy. It leaves you feeling hollowed out, drained, weak. This is life, and this album is the perfect articulation.” – Aural Aggravation

“The heavy and intense brand of noise-rock that’s spat out by London’s Modern Technology is so dense and ferocious, it’s hard to believe the band consists of only two members.” – John Moores, The Quietus

SUPERRRRRRR excited that HS partner in crime has been announced for this years COMSIC AWAKENING festival next month, hosted by in which KG has been commissioned to produce a brand new work, which she will perform live on November 13th at Auditorium, Weltwirtschaft. 📷 Trevor Naud

‘As a filmmaker, curator and sound researcher, not to mention a musician, Kristen Gallerneaux engages in a kind of productive spectral analysis exploring the ghostly traces inscribed in media. Her debut album Strung Figures reflects on the string games used by Indigenous peoples of North America for narrative purposes and passing on knowledge. Rhythmically, it moves between electronic pop and club music, but counters this with manipulated field recordings and samples, synthetic sounds and noisy sonic textures that give the music an eerie character. The album thus follows in the tradition of her previous musical works for film and radio, but also ties in with her monograph High Static, Dead Lines: Sonic Spectres & the Object Hereafter.’

2009, Black Elk, Battle Of Wolf 359, Hammers and Sans Pareil in Canterbury. Earliest m record of Hot Salvation activity. Think I’d used it for recording demos earlier but this would be the first time in print. Rocketing towards our 15th year then. Poster layout and design by too - still working together.
