Caleb Nichols + Sassyhiya

Delighted to be bringing our pal Caleb Nichols to London! His new album Stone Age is Back is an absolute beaut, and we’re delighted to be hosting the London leg of his tour! Plus he’ll be joined by queer indiepunk heroes Sassyhiya and Lemonade Sin, YES!!!

Here’s some info on his new record:

Like a PhD dissertation in contemporary indie rock and alt folk, Caleb Nichols’ third solo album Stone Age Is Back is a fascinating and urgent addition to his growing catalog of music and poetry.

The new LP, which is out October 3rd on Royal Oakie, is a meditation on grief— but not in the way you’d expect. Across 13 dynamic and lovingly produced indie gems, Nichols interrogates the grief, guilt, complicity, joy, anger, fear, and dissociative feelings that come along with living through a mass extinction event. Stone Age Is Back isn’t really a political album, or an album even explicitly about the climate crisis— rather, it’s an album that explores what it means to be living and dying right now, in this moment of extraordinary change.

Produced by Nichols (Kill Rock Stars, Port O’Brien), and mixed and engineered by Jay Pellicci (the Dodos, Deerhoof), Stone Age Is Back is sonically immaculate even while the performances themselves exude an immediacy that might remind you of early Modest Mouse, or, more contemporarily, UK punks the Tubs. Recorded in Oakland, the band adhered to a ‘first take-best take’ rule, and moved quickly, recording the entire album in just five days.
