# Event Details

- **Event Name**: MEMORIALS + Thorn Wych
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 01 May, 2026 at 07:30 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: MEMORIALS draw inspiration from folk, dub, post punk, experimental tape music, 60s soul, garage rock and 70s spiritual jazz, twisting these influences into their own unmistakable sound.

The duo of Verity Susman and Matthew Simms (ex-Electrelane/WIRE) recently toured the USA opening for Stereolab and have been called ‘Stereolab’s evil twin’.

Their new limited edition 7” single Cut Glass Hammer is out on Fire Records on 3 December, with a new digital single, In The Weeds, released on the same day.

‘Kaleidoscopic art-pop and adventurous psych-rock with an immersive, experimental aura’ – KEXP

‘From baroque ’60s acid pop to Can-esque pounding krautrock to heavy psych… also very The Doors at times’ – Brooklyn Vegan

Special guest is Thorn Wych. Thorn Wych makes instruments from tree branches in her backyard workshop which she feeds through a chain of lofi effects machines, and she sings in tongues, creating atavistic hymns and hypnotic dances. For this tour she will be bringing her new Yew tree instrument series. The Yew tree symbolises renewal, rebirth and everlasting life; and with these she will usher in the new year and sing praise to Asherah the Eternal Mother of All.

Thorn Wych’s debut album Aesthesis was released on the label Hoodfaire in November 2024.

‘Haunted, sinister drones, glitched electronics and vocal incantations that reestablish the coordinates for England’s Hidden Reverse… sounds and song that pull post-industrial and traditional music into a ghostly, mesmerising fog that’s wholly unique’ – World of Echo
