Having been lined up to support Wooden Wand on their Eurpoean tour until they had to pull the dates, Jakob Olausson will now be making his only London appearance at the Flea Pit on 2nd February. Any interested Dissensians can PM me for a discount.
Jakob Olausson
Having released a number of CDRs as Joshua Jugband 5, Jakob Olausson released 'Moonlight Farm', his first album proper, on De Stijl last year. Coming on like a Swedish Skip Spence, this psych folk masterpiece sold out almost immediately having drawn admiring glances from the likes of Wooden Wand and the Vanishing Voice and Six Organs of Admittance. This rare appearance is unmissable for any fans of those acts.
James Blackshaw
A supremely talented guitarist who effortlessly outshines the Fahey-lite of so many operating in this area.
"an instrumentalist of astonishing grace and delicacy" Pitchforkmedia
"The most gem-like overlooked album this year ... He deserves ticker tape parades." The Observer
"the music gathered here deftly avoids pale imitation and leaden devotion" The Wire
at The Flea Pit, 49 Columbia Road, E2 7RG (nearest tube Old Street)
