I loved their debut, but this second album from Breathing Heavy (Sam Andreae and @ciaranmackle.bsky.social ) really brings their interaction to a new level of frenzied cohesion... Live sax and reed samples tessellating like a flock of birds/hornets in the most bamboozlingly skronky way possible...😍

Chuffed with this review of not bad by noisenotmusic. @cafeotodalston.bsky.social noisenotmusic.com

Absolutely delighted to announce the return of Mary Hampton to Baba Yaga's 9 years since her last London show. In my opinion the greatest folk singer of her generation, a bit too weird and morose to properly cross over. She supports Nino Gvilia at Café OTO on March 10th. dice.fm/event/oeyy2a...
