SUMMARY:The Hanging Stars w/ Sunstack Jones
DESCRIPTION:London’s The Hanging Stars return with their sixth album\, Just A Day – a dazzling collection of four-part harmonies\, shimmering twelve-string guitars and chiming songs\, touching on themes of longing\, new beginnings and the fragility of the everyday. Recorded at Edwyn Collin’s legendary Clashnarrow Studios in the Scottish Highlands\, the album marks a bold new chapter for the band\, produced with the invaluable guidance of Teenage Fanclub’s Gerard Love.  \nJust A Day is The Hanging Stars’ third album to be recorded at Clashnarrow Studios\, Helmsdale located in the most idyllic setting imaginable\, thirty minutes south of John O’Groats and overlooking the Moray Firth. The studio\, owned and run by Edwyn Collins and Grace Maxwell\, is a place the band describe with reverence: “a sort of mixture between Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory and the BBC’s Repair Shop”.  \nTheir sound evokes classic sounds from the past with an ear towards the future\, from The Byrds via Big Star\, to The Feelies\, Spiritualized\, Teenage Fanclub and Tom Petty. Or think Lou Reed and the Velvets jamming with Gorkys Zygotic Mynci. The result is an album that feels simultaneously classic and vibrant\, their influences worn lightly giving the songs room to breathe. \nSunstack Jones:Liverpool-based collective Sunstack Jones are something of a pre-emptive strike on the inevitably dull British summer\, bringing forth songs that stand out like slants of light in a dusty old room. Their aim is to make immersive music\, transporting you to a lethargic euphoria with billowing soundscapes to soothe the soul. \nThe band’s soul-psyche dream-pop sound caught the attention of Nick McCabe\, the lead guitarist of The Verve. He’s mastered their third album\, and brought a 3D quality\, sprinkling it with some extra magic. Delicious shuffling sun-drenched folk\, framed in rich\, warm and Laurel Canyon harmonies\, and layers of slide guitar floating through its picture perfect pastoral scene. \n\n\nTickets £10.oo\nDoors From: 7.00PM\nShow Starts: 7:45PM (Approximately)\n16+ (Under 18’s must be accompanied by an adult)\nStanding Event\nBefore attending please read our Covid-19 Disclaimer and check out our Venue Info Page\n\n\nHow To Buy Your Ticket\n\nBuy Online\, using the box below\nVisit The Forum Reception \nPlease note our reception is not manned during at busy events\, please see our Opening Hours & Venue Info for more info.\n\nA non-refundable 50p booking fee is added to each ticket when buying online.On the door ticket sales are subject to availability and not guaranteed.
