Kerala Dust
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Kerala Dust’s new album, Violet Drive, is a record deeply affected and influenced by its surroundings. The band, formed in London in 2016, is now based between Berlin and Zurich, and the three Brits — Edmund Kenny on vocals and electronics, keys player Harvey Grant and guitarist Lawrence Howarth — have created a deeply European album torn between the past and future.
Formed out of a growing love of electronic music mixed with a history in indie bands, Edmund started the band at a time when making electronic music on a laptop “seemed like the most sensible thing to do.” He adds: “I got really into club music and used to go to Fabric and CorsicaStudios loads. I got deep into the endless repetition of all of that music and the way that, as it repeats incessantly, things unfold on you, and it almost becomes a weird sort of mantra, leaving you in a clear headspace.” These hypnotic elements are a defining force behind Kerala Dust, whose music incorporates blues and Americana mixed thrillingly with untraditional electronic beats.
