Chainsmoking Records Presents: SBowe and Serepta
April 2 @ 8:30 pm
$7
Next month on Tuesday, April 2nd, we have experimental artist and composer Sbowe swinging into the Brass Rail in support of her first full-length album “Bat Hat”, out now via exoticfeverrecords for which she is currently on tour.
Sbowe is the solo project of Rachel Icenogle, a versatile cellist and composer based in Calabria, Italy with a mind for new and interesting sounds. Sbowe thrives in the scratchy, creaky, whirly sounds the cello can make, layering diverse musical textures in a lush groundwork for wild fables about insects and impressionistic stories about human batteries.
About her EP Morimus (2022), Breaking & Entering Milwaukee wrote, “…the two tracks here create massive, textural, exquisite movements that feel poetic as they feel intentional. It’s like we’re observing both the gorgeous and tense moments of nature unfold in real time, punctuated by a variety of cello sounds.”
Serepta (Chicago) an ethereal baroque synthpop project featuring creator Hope Arthur will be on hand to start it off.
“Serepta presents a colorful and vibrant experience, often sporting avant-garde makeup looks and otherworldly outfits created by Serepta herself. Their music draws from influences such as Bjork, FKA Twigs, Kate Bush, Depeche Mode and Gakuto Kamui.”
