David Holmes by Steve Gullick
David Holmes will be performing at Brockwell Park on May 25th.
Wide Awake Festival organisers have added to their headliners King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard with the likes of David Holmes, Young Fathers, Squid and Alice Glass.
Holmes is booked as part of the campaign behind his new solo album Blind On A Galloping Horse – praised by Live4ever as being, ‘no comfortable soundtrack to a comfortable life he could’ve chosen’:
“As well as saluting those terrorised by conflict, Necessary Genius picks up the mantle of offering love and respect to the, ‘dreamers, misfits, radicals, outcasts’, that have passed in the last few years – figures such as Terry Hall, Sinéad O’Connor and Ennio Morricone.”
Whilst in this vein the producer then summons up the spirit of one of the greatest mavericks of all in Sugar Sweet regular Andrew Weatherall via the post-punk mining I Laugh Myself To Sleep, emphasising a bond between the two which has transcended the absence of one.
