FLYING HORSEMAN (BE)

<p><strong>Their music will embrace you but can not be easily captured in words. Appreciated by a&nbsp;majority of Belgian music critiques, Flying Horseman will come to Prague for the first time! The sextet around songwriter Bert Dockx surrounds you with bitter post-rock and nocturnal folk. Imagine a&nbsp;midnight walk through a&nbsp;dark forest. It can be ominous yet unbearably serene. Through the years, the Antwerp based band have developed a&nbsp;rich, organic sound that is theirs only.&nbsp;<em>Rooms / Ruins</em>, their fifth album, is a&nbsp;capricious, vibrant and strange affair that will send you inwards before catapulting you into space. If you fancy something similar to the sound of Nick Cave, save the date: 21. November, 19:00 at NoD!</strong></p>

Julien Baker / support: Becca Mancari

<p>Singer-songwriter from Memphis Julien Baker is coming to Prague for the first time. Her tender voice will resonate through&nbsp;NoD on September 14th 2018. A&nbsp;country singer Becca Mancari to open the evening.&nbsp;</p> <p>Twenty&nbsp;two year&nbsp;old singer and guitarist Julien Baker started making music at the university with her band&nbsp;Forrister. She started playing solo in 2015 when releasing her debut album&nbsp;<em>Sprained Ankle</em>. It was a&nbsp;collection of humbly rendered&nbsp;folk&nbsp;songs, dealing with the topics of depression, substance abuse and also a crisis of faith, since Baker claims to be Christian. During her short career, she opened for bands and musicians like Death Cab For Cutie, Conor Obers or Belle &amp; Sebastian. In 2017, she got signed&nbsp;by Matador Records (Cat Power, Interpol, Pavement, Yo La Tengo) and released her second album&nbsp;<em>Turn Out The Lights</em>. The album is&nbsp;more expansive in sound and vision but&nbsp;the real draw is Baker&#39;s&nbsp;songwriting and lyricism.&nbsp;The result finds Baker narrating a deliberate meditation on how we each try to deal with our ever-shifting mental health, and the impact this can have on both ourselves and others. The album sets out to address how the process of coping with internal conflicts affects different relationships &ndash; romantic, familial, and friendly. Baker turns outward to embrace the challenges of the human experience, weaving personal struggles together into one surprisingly hopeful chorus.&nbsp;</p>
