Carolina Lopez - unknown

This opening set from Carolina Lopez put her songs and her voice at the centre of things, presented with atmospheric (but uncluttered) arrangements courtesy of a band with definite ties to the widescreen improvisation collective that would be following them. Samuel Laramee, who I've previously seen in action as a synth wiz, impressed on guitar here, adding both drift and frisson to the anchoring forces of Ambrose Veno (drums) and Bjorn Kriel (bass). There's an EP of tunes available on bandcamp, and, we were told, more (like this one) in the can.
