The Silver Reserve + Admiral Drowsy & The Narwals
April 23 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Matthew Sturgess, who performs as ‘The Silver Reserve’, plays delicate, sparse music on a classical guitar, crafting intricate melodies around thoughtful and evocative lyrics. At times creating dense, layered atmospherics, this is music that doesn’t rush and takes its sweet, sad time to unfurl and sneak under the skin.
“I have fallen in love with The Silver Reserve. Songs of warmth and beauty that scratch at the inside of your heart. In a world that sits heavy on your chest, this is music that reminds you how to breathe.’ Thea Gilmore (Cooking Vinyl)
”Beautiful, fragmentary songs which slowly dismantle you.” Seamus Fogarty (Domino Records/Fence Collective)
“The Silver Reserve is beautiful as fuck and funny as fuck and beautiful as fuck.” Kathryn Joseph (Rock Action Records)
Admiral Drowsy is the song writing veneer of Luke Redfern Scott. After a lenthly time overseas, Luke is currently back in West Yorkshire and has reconvened with a group of old friends forming a new band creating music with numerous guitars, drums, a few synthesisers and other potential oddities. His music has an unsettling dream-folk quality with expressive yet restrained vocials and an off kilter ambience all its own.
“Like Syd Barrett if he’d survived, straightened up and reverted back to literate and idiosyncratic folk-pop” – Elsewhere
“Challenging, adventurous and downright ominous mutant folk” – RNZ
