Ora Cogan + Maximilian + The Roebucks

Ora Cogan Brighton

Ora Cogan live in Brighton at The Prince Albert on 23rd June!
Get tickets above, or from SeeTickets.

Formless finds beauty, absurdity, humour, and unlikely joy in the bleakest of times. Cogan’s smoky, psychedelic approach to gothic country and hazy folk merges with post-punk, groove, psych rock, and traditional balladry. With a singular voice as much sensation as sound, Ora Cogan seeks out new realities within the smoke-and-mirrors labyrinth of our cruel society. Recorded in mostly off-the-floor takes with rhythm section David Proctor and Finn Smith on analog tape at Vancouver Island’s Risque Disque studio and co-produced by Cogan and Loving’s David Parry, Formless features international guest stars including Cormac Mac Diarmada from LANKUM, who plays strings on “Feel Life,” and a duet with Y La Bamba on “Ways of Losing.”

Cogan has been crafting critically acclaimed records for years, earning her festival slots throughout Europe and North America, residencies in Italy and France, and shows with Mazzy Star and Grouper. Prolific and experimental, she’s collaborated with the likes of Frazey Ford, Skeena Reece and members of Big Brave. Cogan and her close-knit band will support Formless with stateside touring as well as EU and UK dates in 2024. Her performances offer a vital antidote to the dystopian alienation of modern life, drawing overlapping audiences of folk, goth, pop, experimental, and even noise and punk fans together like some bizarre sonic/social Venn diagram.

+ Maximilian: Maximilian is an alternative singer/songwriter for fans of: Jeff Buckley, Grizzly Bear, Alex G and Adrianne Lenker. The debut 10 track album ‘Surrender’ was released in March, an enticing journey from anguish to acceptance. With each live show being different in both arrangements and feel of each song, you don’t want to miss the next one.

+ The Roebucks: After a couple of years of performing The Roebucks have developed a unique sound that combines rock with Americana including folk-like harmonies. With a chugging rhythm section made up of Henry Brown (bass) and Sophie Maloney (drums) and intertwining Allman-esque riffs from Tom Cotter and Lola Gordon’s guitars the result harks back to 1970s Southern rock with a modern British twist. The Roebucks, who are Brighton based, are bringing the rattling American sound to the South Coast as you can hear in their latest single ‘Low’.
