send + receive presents the prairie debut of London's Still House Plants, following a year of acclaim for their breathtaking third LP, ‘If I don't make it, I love u,' with support from Winnipeg trio Compost. Still House Plants are a UK-based three-piece collective made up of Jess Hickie-Kallenbach, Finlay Clark and David Kennedy. From a minimalist approach of guitar, drums and vocals they bridge elements of sampling, slow core, and repetition to make music with a melting pop heart. Compost is nutrient-rich music for a healthy body and mind. It’s the grit and grind of deep bass and decomposing blown up beats from which flowery keyboards blossom. The instrumental trio references 90’s beat makers, and European electronic music, cycling between movement and meditation. Information Source: send + receive | eventbrite
