Brown Fang

Nottingham instrumental duo Brown Fang perform their Peggy’s debut with an expanded line up, playing as a full quartet for the first time for this special show. Their double album ‘Netherfield Lagoons‘ brings together classic American minimalism, dub basslines, Tangerine Dream synths and wide-screen, slow-release guitars to create a sound-world you’ll be unwilling to leave.

It comprehensively evolves the sound from the debut, ‘Sherwood Pines’, released in 2021 by NuNorthern Soul, and called “an album that you will keep going back to, not only in the ensuing months, but in the coming years, too” by Sun 13 Magazine

While there’s definite ambient tendencies, this is far from background music. A deep, melodic sensibility demands repeated listening, and slowly-revealed texture and detail rewards each revisit. In the words of the band – “These pristine recollections are a means to delve into the soul of space; to link earth, tuning peg, ears and fern. To give emotional latitude for musicians dipping their toes into cartography. To put our locale under the magnifying glass in the form of a vibrational tonic. Take a listen to the lakeside sunset or the moon on the lagoon and nod to their computer rhythms. For, if you let them, these familiar ghosts will walk you down private roads and ferry you across algae-filled waters”.

Brown Fang is acclaimed musicians John Thompson (JIM, Bent, Attraktors, Scott 4, Crazy P, The Selecter, Nectarine No.9 and Idris Elba) and Henry Claude Scott (Never Ending Birthdays, Davoli, Jimi Mack) – bass and lead guitar respectively for Delia band Torn Sail.

“A masterpiece capturing everything that is heavenly about music”
