A special one this - in such a beautiful venue as the sun sets in the peak of summer. Field Commander Ali, Thoughtless Gift, Jordan Ireland, Classifieds @ Dissenter Space / 20th July / £12 adv / link in bio.

Field Commander Ali saunters through Edinburgh with an intimate collection of songs built from layered vocals and the quiet sounds of the room itself. A delicate balance of closeness and distance in both sound and storytelling. The First From The Field Commander was one of my most listened to records of last year. Listening to Ali’s layered vocals and open strings coupled with the industrial and coastal views from Dissenter Space is something I’m romanticising.

Thoughless Gift will be playing their first show. My best friend in life and in music. A Slipping OG hailing fromh just south of the Ardeer Peninsula, now nestling in London. TG’s guitar work leans into repetition whilst rejecting any rigidness, making patterns that soften and slip. I like to think of a Thoughless Gift track more of a journal entry than a song. The two entries so far can be found scattered across the web.

Jordan Ireland’s piano pieces are simple on the surface. Mostly short, unadorned improvisations, but they carry warmth and patience, the kind that slowly draws you in rather than announcing itself. There’s something in his playing that feels tied to that wider Australian experimental scene: open, pastoral, no hurry, like it’s moving at its own pace. The sweet spot.

Over the past year, Nicky’s been recording the world she’s been creating. Beautiful sketches, studies, and pieces in progress Each one better than the last. Recently I received a long-form guitar track that hasn’t left my headphones. the way she gives ideas room to grow, unfold, and see where they can go rather than rushing them into place. There’s something really lovely in that process. A curiosity and openness that gives the work a dense, shifting quality, layered with texture and the sense that each listen opens up another corner of it. Really looking forward to hearing Classifieds live.

Would love to have a lot of the folk and experimental heads in Edinburgh turn up for this one. by @moodmaking
