Songwriter, singer, and guitarist Ben Chasny – also known from the legendary American noise rock band Comets On Fire – started his Six Organs of Admittance project in the late 1990s. With it, he became one of the pioneers of the new folk movement, alongside Devendra Banhart, Joanna Newsom, and CocoRosie. After numerous projects (such as Badgerlore, August Born, 200 Years, Rangda, …) and more than twenty albums, he released the solo album Time Is Glass on Drag City. Rural-industrial, psyched-out new folk that commands serious respect.
What would your life look like if you could rediscover your sexuality in public space?

Between the raw power of electro and the subtlety of post-rock, TUKAN stands out as a unique voice on the Belgian music scene. The band was born from the meeting of four musicians at Antwerp’s Jazz Studio, forming a collective where each member is an essential part of the whole. Driven by a unique creative synergy, TUKAN blends powerful electronic sounds with organic textures, creating a soundscape as vibrant on stage as it is on their albums.
