Bar Remix Session: Slinky Pictures

Including Ben Christophers + Tears In X Ray Eyes & guests

“(Christophers creates) eerie spaced-out folk songs of the purest longing, wrapped up in enigmatic samples and dipped in honey melodies” (The Independent)

“Tears in X Ray Eyes has the same sense of lo-fi adventure which made 'The Hour of Bewilderbeest' such a joy, and his tales of doomed romance and epic failure are straight from the Stephen Patrick Morrissey song book” (NME)

Following this afternoon’s Slinky cinema retrospective, this successful animation company become VJs for the night to accompany a selection of music acts and DJs. Singer songwriter Ben Christophers fresh from the success of his latest CD ‘The Spaces In Between’ (Cooking Vinyl) comes to entertain with his fragile and finely wrought folkatronic and baroque songs. Support comes from Tim Closs’s Tears In X Ray Eyes who’s been described as London’s answer to Scott Walker, but who’s simple melodic solo songs and electronic accompaniment have impressed many. Also appearing will be members of Ten Benson, and the folk duo of Linne Catlow of 3 Bears Animations (also celebrating a cinema retrospective this afternoon) accompanied by Pete Mosely direct from the Lake District folk clubs.
