2012-12-01 19:00 - 22:30 | AB Box (Anspachlaan 110, 1000 Brussel)
The previous two successful editions of Autumn Falls had
sold out shows by Low, Pinback, Bill Callahan, SX,
Metronomy, Beach House, Ólafur Arnalds, etc… The third
edition guarantees another surprising, eclectic line-up for
the passionate music lover. Autumn Falls 2012 takes place
from November 26 till December 2 in the heart of
Brussels.Autumn Falls is a collaboration between local
venues and clubs in Brussels (AB, Botanique, Atelier 210,
VK, Magasin 4, Maison des Musiques and Madame Moustache)
and European booking agency/Benelux promoter Toutpartout. In
recent years the indoor music festival has taken up a
prominent position in the European fall concert
calendar.Toutpartout was founded in 1994 and organises shows
for national and international acts in the Benelux, as well
as entire tours throughout Europe.Confirmed bands so far
are: Shearwater / Dark Dark Dark / Deerhoof / WHY? / Great
Lake Swimmers / Father John Misty / TY Segall / DIIV /
Sandro Perri / Do Make Say Think / Eric Chenaux / Hundred
Waters / The Soft Moon / Jens Lekman / The Lumerians /
Zammuto WHY? (us)By starting their own band, these
two brothers and their schoolmate gave rise to the invention
of new words to describe their music. One of these words:
folk-hop. As with all their previous albums, the fifth
record ‘Mumps, Etc.’ will also be released on Anticon,
the label that frontman Yoni Wolf helped create. Deerhoof
(us)Pop = catchy, pop = new, pop = no rules. That’s how
Deerhoof’s Greg Saunier announced the new album ‘Breakup
Song’. Since their beginnings as a noise outfit in San
Francisco back in 1994, they developed into – at least
according to Pitchfork – “the best band in the world”.
Not that the word noise alone is adequate; their influence
on many a musician in the indie world today is obvious, and
that’s due not in the least to the fact that they are
devout to subversiveness.DIIV (us)Out of respect for Belgian
Dirk Ivens’s industrial project by the same name, Dive
was rebaptised DIIV earlier this year. Beach Fossils
guitarist Zachary Cole Smith locked himself into a small
room in Bushwick (Brooklyn, NY) one summer and emerged with
‘Oshin’, released this year by Captured Tracks. His
influences? Krautrock, psychedelia and the late 80s in
Seattle. BRNS (b)On January 1st, during the first hours
of 2010, Antoine Meersseman and Tim Philippe improvised a
first rehearsal in a small room in Brussels. After their
show at Atelier 210 a few months later, the music
programmer was so impressed that he started the label Limite
Records, where the band released their first 7”. Thanks
to word of mouth, they have shared the stage with Suuns,
Django Django and Cloud Nothings, and expanded their
territory from Brussels to Ghent, Bruges, Antwerp and even
Paris! And the music itself? It can best be described as an
overexposed pastel coloured polaroid of California.
Clinic (uk)‘Free Reign’, the long awaited seventh album
by Clinic, is released November 12th. The Liverpudlian band
is best known for their use of vintage keyboards and organs
found on flea markets, and for Ade Blackburn’s surrealist
lyrics. Without straying too far from their formula, they
present their most powerful work to date on this release.
Those who never saw them live have no reason to miss out on
this four piece dressed up in surgeon’s clothes!
