Album launch by Philippe Nash, with support from Woodpig, at The Piper in Hastings.
Philippe Nash is playing The Piper on Thursday 19 November, with support from Woodpig. It's an album launch, and the record came out on vinyl and Bandcamp in October, so this is one of the first chances to hear it live.
Nash has been building up to this through a series of atmospheric DIY shows. He released his first studio single, 'Hurt', back in April, followed by 'Monday Morning' and 'Peel', before the full record arrived. He describes his music as gut-wrenching, in the vein of Kurt Cobain, Elliott Smith and Damien Rice, with a voice and writing style that draws on punk rock, trad folk and anything emotionally raw. He emerged from serious illness and the life-break that followed, and that history sits close to the surface of the songs.
Opening the night is Woodpig, a local act that channels the rustic charm of traditional folk with a contemporary twist. They fuse acoustic warmth and atmospheric electronics in songs that explore loss and resilience, so the two acts share a similar interest in the intersection of folk and electronic textures.
