BARRENS

FRIDAY

BIXLER STAGE

15:25 - 15:55

One listen to Barrens and the revelation that Markku Hildén, Johan G. Winther and Kenta Jansson had already been playing and touring together before forming the band suddenly makes sense. In 2018 Markku joined Scraps of Tape, Johan and Kenta’s other project as a live drummer for two tours of Europe and a tour of China. Recognising an immediate chemistry, the outlines for what would become Barrens were sketched out in countless vans, trains, planes and bars as they travelled together across the world.

For fans of Mono, PG.LOST, Caspian, Mogwai, This Will Destroy You, Russian Circles, Pelican, Scraps Of Tape, God Is An Astronaut.
