Advance Base + Karima Walker with support from Raveloe

Orindal Records recording artists Advance Base (Chicago, IL) & Karima Walker (Tucson, AZ) bring their electronic, cosmic Americana to the UK for a night of intimate & immersive solo sets featuring gentle synthesizers, sleepy drum loops, ambient field recordings, psychedelic visuals & folk-style vocals. Advance Base is the melancholic story song project of Owen Ashworth (formerly of Casiotone for the Painfully Alone), making their much anticipated return to the UK following the release of 2020’s Live at Home & 2021’s Wall of Tears & Other Songs I Didn’t Write. Singer, sound designer & filmmaker Karima Walker makes her UK debut following the critical acclaim of her 2021 folk/ambient album Waking the Dreaming Body (co-released by Keeled Scales), featured on best of the year lists by GoldFlakePaint, Gorilla Vs. Bear, For the Rabbits & more.

Singer-songwriter, Kim Grant decided at the end of 2019 to embark on her new solo venture, Raveloe. With all live shows, aside from the aforementioned performance, cancelled and plans to record an album put on hold, Grant had to adapt and change her plans. “I started Raveloe with anticipation and excitement for the year ahead and like everyone faced a tidal wave of uncertainty”. Recording at home over lockdown, with the help of friends from locations as diverse as derby, Dumfries and Melbourne, notes and dreams was a way for Grant to deal with the intense anxiety at that time, which she was able to channel it into creating something. "I ventured into home recording and it's ended up being a really creative time for me, with music being my anchor and release."

Taking her new moniker from a place in Mary Ann Evans novel, Ailas Marner. "it's about a reclusive weaver who lives in a town called Raveloe. I identified with his character in some ways, Silas a weaver of threads and myself, a weaver of words and song (as well as his departure from organised religion). I also just really loved the word and like the juxtaposition of images it conjures. That this fictional town is as real as you make it, just like the world I want to create in my music." Raveloe's hushed folk missives give you that feeling of comfort and devastation in equal measure. "through my music I want to make something relatable and share honestly but also create a space that is transportive, atmospheric and at times cathartic. Connecting with the listener is really important to me as well as exploring my inner and outer surroundings. I weave my past experiences with present observations and thoughts, and I hope to take who ever is listening on a journey “on a mountain, in a city, in a dream, through the window” Raveloe is where I pore my heart out and explore what it is to be alive through music."

Her sound has been said to be reminiscent of PJ Harvey, Adrianne Lenker and Shannon Lay.
