Portals Presents: BRUIT ≤ & Supports

Portals Presents: BRUIT ≤ at Olso, Hackney. In just a few years, the French experimental / post-rock band has established itself as a key figure on the French post-rock scene, a style the band has absorbed and reshaped through its relentless innovation.

After a standout session at Seattle’s KEXP studios, the French quartet unveiled The Age of Ephemerality in 2025, released via Pelagic Records — an album they will defend on stage in London this May.

For fans of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Hans Zimmer, MONO.

"The Age of Ephemerality is a transportative experience throughout and although it may be discomforting, the journey is one worth taking multiple times." (Noizze)

"BRUIT ≤ remain as steadfast and pragmatic when it comes to their socio-politically informed post-rock. The Age Of Ephemerality is horror conveyed through great beauty. (Everything is Noise)

Mountainscape - instrumental post-metal band weaving together post-rock and ambient sections with colossal riffs, ethereal melodies and hypnotic blackgaze. You can expect live looped madness presented with technical precision and a room filling energy.

FFO: Russian Circles, We Lost the Sea, Holy Fawn

Spafford Campbell - fiddle player Owen Spafford and guitarist Louis Campbell play with delicacy, dynamism and seemingly telepathic exchanges, with the startling intimacy of musical conversations nurtured in improv-led writing sessions with elements of jazz, post-rock, and chamber music: post-folk, trad-noir, folk nihilism

FFO: Talk Talk, Bon Iver, The Gloaming

Presented by Portals.

This is a 16+ event (under 18’s accompanied).
