Well, he's not on Spotify, so you'll have to dig. His "magnum opus" is "I See A Darkness" (the album), but he's prolific. I would also check out The Letting Go, Wolfroy Goes To Town and Ease Down The Road. Also check out his earlier stuff as "Palace Brothers/Music" as he'll probably play some of that too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny5eyes Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 That's a very decent line up, I find the antipathy to Idles on here somewhat baffling and the idea that 'Idles fans' wouldn't be interested in anything else on the bill completely ridiculous. However quite a lot of repeat bookings so not sure it's quite enough for me to decide to go this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think personally it's more apathy than antipathy, I don't feel like it's a particularly exciting or imaginative headliner. Having said that I think it'll be a hugely popular set and I don't think i've ever watched every Woods headliner so I'm not bothered and will make lots of people very happy! Hoping Lankum are the Garden headliner that night so I don't have to make too many tough decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you do something about the phosphorescent, sprints, Mozart estate, Ichiko aboa, Jess Williamson clash though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Is the playlist only on Spotify? Ive only the free version. A Youtube music man these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping Lankum are the Garden headliner that night so I don't have to make too many tough decisions. Quite. I wasn't bothered about any of the headliners last year, although did end up quite enjoying Future Islands. Idles are quite a coup for EOTR given the relative popularity of the recent Woods headliners whether you like them or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His latest solo shows have been really intimate so not sure how that will work on a big stage. Yeah, the last time I saw him was solo at the Union Chapel (Simon was there, unsurprisingly). It looks like recent setlists have been heavily drawing from the latest album, but who knows what sort of set we'll get in the autumn! https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/bonnie-prince-billy/2024/alexis-and-jim-pugh-theater-orlando-fl-43aca7e7.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoebox Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 And yeah, you're right, there's more stuff up there than I thought. All the Palace stuff, Superwolf and the latest album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brayshizzle Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 My mates have been on about this festival for a while and this will be the first year I can get to it. Fever Ray at Field Day was one of the best sets I have ever seen so I am very excited to get to it again over the summer. Wonder will it be altered in any way but regardless, it will be fantastic. I was never really an Idles fan until I saw them live and that quickly changed my opinion of them. They put on a hell of a show. I just hope Lankum doesn't clash with either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lessthanwill1 Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Forgot that I really like Maple Glider. To Enjoy is the Only Thing was one of my faves of 2021 and Good Thing was one of my SOTYs. Should be nice on the Garden Stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carwynnen Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 48 minutes ago, lessthanwill1 said: YLT | Fever Ray | Lankum would be a great set of headliners for me. Would probably skip Slowdive having seen them last year and probably again at Wide Awake this year. Acts I’d be extremely excited for would be Ichiko Aoba, Cornelius, Sanam, Richard Dawson, Blue Lake and Tara Clerkin Trio. Lots of others I’d be keen for like Jockstrap, Joanna Sternberg, Mdou Moctar, Sleater Kinney, Bonnie Prince Billy, Nourished by Time, Mary Lattimore, SLIFT, Water From Your Eyes and ML Buch. Lots to explore as well which is good. Brilliant selection you've pointed out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick07 Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Fever Ray feels like a special addition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmanuel Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Great lineup! Just sad it is conflicting with both Supersonic Festival and Moseley Folk Festival. But I can see Sleater-Kinney + Yo La Tengo at APE, Camera Obscura in June, Slowdive next week, Lankum in May, so I have that covered already.

lessthanwill1 Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Setting sound brilliant if you’re into instrumental ambient, post-rock, drone sorta stuff. Seem like a great act for The Boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accordionandvoice Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 12 hours ago, lessthanwill1 said: My initial take is that the top lines seem a lot better than last year but maybe the undercard isn’t quite as eclectic (potentially will change my view on undercard as there are some I’m not familiar with). Slowdive, Fever Ray, Bonnie Prince Billy, Yo La Tengo, Sleater Kinney, Lankum, Jockstrap, Mdou Moctar, Richard Dawson, Cornelius all brilliant big names. From undercard my faves are: Sanam, Ichiko Aoba, Blue Lake, Tara Clerkin Trio, Joanna Sternberg, Mary Lattimore, Water From Your Eyes, Nourished by Time, ML Buch, Mui Zyu and Ugly. This is pretty much exactly my list of acts to see (not so keen on Fever Ray or Water From Your Eyes but pretty much everything else)! I'd chuck Setting in there too - reckon you'd like them - and Lisa O'Neill, Mark William Lewis, Molly Lewis... but yeah top stuff. Let's hang out!

accordionandvoice Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Fantastic line-up!! Back for my first time since 2019. Particularly excited for Bonnie Prince Billy, Cornelius, Setting, Blue Lake, Tara Clerkin Trio and Richard Dawson (for the 100th time). Shame about Idles, mind...
