Open Frame: Laurel Halo
Inspired by science fiction, freeform music and Detroit techno, Laurel Halo crafts lush, electronic avant-pop that is as theoretical as it is playful.
Halo’s 2012 LP, Quarantine, struck a deep bass-loaded chord. Issued by one of the UK’s most vital electronic music labels, Hyperdub, the album found its way into a huge array of end-of-year lists – including a spot at #1 in The Wire magazine.
Coming to Australia for the first time, Pitchfork has described Halo’s work as having “oddly stacked and constantly shifting harmonies, portamento pitch-bending, narcotic melodies, [and] a prevailing sense of technological dread”. Her sound bridges an uneasy passage between extra-terrestrial unfamiliarity and pulsing earthly delight.
Joining her is techno deconstructionist Objekt, presently based in Berlin. Earning a serious reputation for innovative remix transformations, he’s produced work for everyone from Radiohead to SBTRKT.
An evening of unequalled sub rattles, feet wiggles and ascendant melodies.
