This avant-garde duo comprisedof Tom Wilson (Night Porter) and Dean Valentine Smith (Thisbe the Verse/Various Cruelties) conduct intense sonicexperiments, fusing a volatile cocktail of free noise andjagged jazz rhythms, reflecting the frenetic energy of urbanlife and the introspective isolation embodied by the"hikikomori" phenomenon.Inner City Holdings explore drones, noise, saturated texturesand dissonance. Themes of anxiety and opression in animagined dystopian city. Elodie Chiper and Frederick Fuller.(Bones UK, Whales in Cubicles, Night Flowers) crush guitarsand synths over drum machines, creating a dark broodingatmosphere. For fans of David Lynch, SunnO))) and oldschool industrial goth.Can we Cry, the follow up from the debut single ‘DoomRadio’, supported by both Iggy Pop (6music) and JohnKennedy (xfm) is out October 16th.https://www.instagram.com/hikikomorimusichttps://www.instagram.com/innercityholdings
