Vessel, Oliver Wilde, Giant Swan, H Zam Zam

After a stellar 2013 of lauded releases and festival take overs, the new year sees Howling Owl Records transform Arnolfini's auditorium for an evening of forward thinking music and visuals from label affiliates. New Year / New Noise.

Headliner Vessel (Tri-Angle/Young Echo) will demonstrate why he is fast becoming one of the most respected names in Bristol's burgeoning electronic music scene. Support comes from Giant Swan (Howling Owl) who carve and sculpt beats and drone using two guitars and a plethora of pedals, and who memorably brought the muscle to Jutta Koether's exhibition last summer. 2013's press and radio darling Oliver Wilde (Howling Owl) will offer you another side of his work, performing a more electronica/glitch leaning set, after H from Zamzam Records opens the proceedings with her wall of looped tapes and dark ambience. New Year / New Noise is Howling Owl's way of letting you know that 2014 is going to be a special one for Bristol's music scene.
