- Rob St.John

Rob should really need no introduction in this city; he is a tour-de-force of constant evolution, from the beautiful, spartan Tipping In EP back in 2008 to the astonishing debut album Weald, released in November 2011. Tracer Trails once described him as “Edinburgh’s adopted “doom-wop” wunderkind”, and who are we to argue with that?

Rob plays his first (and an increasingly rare) Edinburgh show of 2012 in the intimate coven of Banshee Labyrinth. This is not to be missed at any cost.

- Hiva Oa

Hiva Oa are one of the brightest sparks in Edinburgh, like a fairytale catching fire, like eagleowl’s demented evil twin.

- Cheer

Cheer is a man of ethereal brilliance and was a mainstay of the superb (and much missed) Benbecula Records. The Skinny reviewed him thus -

“If you like the clicks, decay, silences and surface noise of music then Benbecula have something truly special for you. Cheer creates a faultless balance of textures in his sound, utilising gentle plucked guitar, counter-pointed with what sounds like the dying milliseconds of feedback looped over and over. But equally important to the pieces is that he employs a similar ethos to the likes of minimal techno godhead Ricardo Villalobos or artists on the sadly defunct Mille Plateaux label; on the surface, it may seem like ‘simple’ repetition - in this case of his treated guitar - but listen deeper and there is a turbulent mix of crackles, drones and pulses that becomes infinitely absorbing. On listening, you’ll suddenly become aware, 3 tracks in, that you’ve stopped what it is you are doing, and that you’re sitting very very still in order to hear every last minute sound. Microscopically brilliant.”
