Submotion Orchestra at SWX in Bristol Sat 16th Feb 2019
Posted on: 29 Dec 2018The incredible Submotion Orchestra are coming to Bristol's SWX on February 16th 2019.
Since their inception in 2009, Submotion Orchestra have moved seamlessly between deep electronica, jazz, soul and ambient downtempo, mesmerising audiences from Iceland to India. Their unique music is at once delicate and heavy, spacious and dense, highly atmospheric but firmly rooted.
Earth-shaking bass and drums combine with lush keyboard and trumpet textures to create the perfect backdrop for the fragile beauty of Ruby Wood’s vocals, and the celestial effects of producer Ruckspin.
Formed in Leeds in 2009, the band quickly made a splash on the wider scene. Their live gigs left audiences open-mouthed, and their debut EP on Ranking Records drew a rave reaction from Gilles Peterson who quickly gave the band their first Radio 1 session. Their now-legendary weekly residency at the tiny Hukaz Bar in Leeds gave fans the unique opportunity to see the band create new material up-close and personal.
The group's fifth studio album Kites - released in 2018 - sees the band gloriously return to the smoky, jazz infused electronica which made their first album Finest Hour the cult record that it has now become.
Don't miss the chance to see the incredible Submotion Orchestra live at Bristol's SWX on February 16th, 2019.
