About this event
Brudenell Presents... With support from - The Worm Milkweed describe their sound as slacker-trad, which is both true and somehow insufficient. For three years Milkweed have refined a formula â taking existing source material (a folklore journal, a book on Welsh myths, another on bronze age human remains and most recently Thomas Kinsellaâs masterfully stark translation of the TĂĄin BĂł CĂșailnge), cutting up the words and feeding them through a woodchipper of lo-fi production and experimental folk music. On the face of it their musical concerns are transatlantic â they follow the rich creative line that runs between British traditional music and the songs and tunes of the eastern United States. In reality their scope is global, and rooted in deep time, with influences from prehistory bleeding into a troubled and troubling modern era. As a result their music doesnât sit easily anywhere, but ricochets between bewitching folk music and disconcerting hauntological experimentation.
