Quade

TICKETS

Doomer sad-boy ambient dub folk experimental post-rock? That’s how Quade, a collective of four childhood friends — Barney Matthews (bass, vocals), Matt Higgins (hardware), Tom Connolly (violin, guitar) and Leo Fini (drums) —  describe their sound.

This Bristol-based quartet emerged during the pandemic, drawing on the legacy of ‘90s atmospheric post-rock bands like Hood, Bark Psychosis, Tortoise, Labradford, and The For Carnation — and building on their influence with a singular take on gothic folk, cosmic ambient, and minimalist dub psychedelia. With their 2023 debut album Nacre, Quade joined the roster of visionary London label AD 93, following up this year with their sophomore record The Foel Tower. 
 

“The latest album from Bristol quartet Quade is just this, deconstructed rock music that sounds and feels like the infinite sprawl of rural British landscapes.“ — The Quietus

Quade's second album, released in April, was recorded in the sanctuary of an old stone barn in the cradle of a Welsh mountain valley. The band has transformed images of misty landscapes, crackling fires and vast barren hills into an atmospheric sonic tapestry stuffed with musical, cinematic and literary influences – from Ursula La Guin and Cormac MacCarthy through to RS Thomas and W. B. Yeats. Despite the heavy, introspective and anxious nature of some of the material, it is also a record that is remarkably deft, agile and considered. “The album very much feels tied to this valley for us and the conversations and experiences we shared there.”
​

“Satisfyingly indecipherable, Quade make music that speaks first to your body, then to your imagination.“ — The Guardian
