BOBBY GILLESPIE AND JEHNNY BETH
THEIR FIRST LIVE SHOWS ARE CONFIRMED FOR NOVEMBER
“A decadent blend of Walker Brothers-esque chamber pop, Gainsbourg chanson and swooning folk-rock… It’s a striking departure for both of them, but it sounds surprisingly natural.” - Loud and Quiet
“Profoundly enaging and redemptive” - 4* MOJO
“Utopian Ashes channels Primal Scream’s glory years in spirit if not sound, digging through the past to reinvtent their musical future” – 4* Record Collector
“Utopian Ashes is a powerful and affecting album because you believe the emotions it expresses” – The Times
“Deliciously bitter chemistry” – 8/10 Uncut
“A distilled triumph” - Clash
“Brimming with rock and roll excess and natural cool we’d expect from these two.” – Vanyaland
Bobby Gillespie and Jehnny Beth are the dream collaboration that no-one saw coming. But whether you’re a fan of Primal Scream, Savages or simply music coloured by drama and fervent emotion, their singles ‘Chase It Down’ and ‘Remember We Were Lovers’ are essential listening. In addition to initial critical acclaim, they’ve also picked up 6 Music airplay from Huw Stephens and Lauren Laverne plus key streaming support such as The Listening Post at Spotify.
As Friday’s release of the duo’s debut album ‘Utopian Ashes’ draws near, Bobby Gillespie and Jehnny Beth can now announce details of their first live shows together. In addition to headline performances in specially selected historic venues, they will also play two shows for the inaugural London edition of the Pitchfork Festival. The tour concludes with a third Pitchfork Festival set, this time in Paris.
