A Burial At Sea / Newhvn

Booking Required

Emerging from Liverpool roots and a history of expansive ambient post‑rock, Newhvn reunites members of A Burial At Sea to explore a rougher, more direct sound that blends rock, alternative and grunge with shoegaze and post‑hardcore inflections. Their forthcoming ten‑track debut, shaped in isolation at Black Bay Studios, juxtaposes textural atmosphere and abrasive surges. Swiss post‑rock trio Maïak complements the bill with instrumental pieces that move from melancholic introspection to cathartic, chaotic climaxes.
