Anastasia Coope / Nighttime / Wheatie Mattiasich / m. cole

Wednesday July 10 * doors at 630, show at 7 * $20 advance, $25 at the door * TICKETS

m. cole (fka sonic eddy) is an artist and musician obsessed with material medium & dialectical procession. Ritualistic aural conversation; weaving animated loops; midi-fueled dialogue; manipulated acoustics; we access the material ribbons of sound together; bodies dampen & reverberate & influence in companionship.

Wheatie Mattiasich is a singer and dulcimer player living in Baltimore, Maryland. Her music began as a solo endeavor, but for the past decade+ has been in collaboration with Stephen Santillan (of More Dogs, Thank You, Oh Hang). Wheatie’s singing draws influence from various folk traditions, while Stephen‘s keyboard and guitar playing, brings in more contemporary timbres- both interested in abstracting the idea of a ballad. Their most recent songs were released last year, as an LP on Open Mouth Records.

A gift for lovers of 60s folk and crystalline, song-y psychedelia, Nighttime aka Eva Louise Goodman, delivers fluent, buoyant compositions that run the gamut of psych-pop, girl group, and Americana. Nighttime's third full length album, Keeper Is The Heart, engineered and co-produced by Florist's Rick Spataro, was released on Ba Da Bing! Records in 2023 to critical acclaim. Lauded by Bandcamp as Best New Music, they called the record “a mystical tapestry of psychedelic folk.” Nighttime reaches deep into the essence of musicians such as Vashti Bunyan, Sibylle Baier and Pentangle, breaking down the decades into a sound thoroughly and bizarrely modern.

The feeling that Anastasia Coope’s music transmits seems to emanate from a precipice beyond the material world, like a void or memory pressing up against the veil. It’s exacting and enveloping but unmoored in space and time: ghostly, spectral, far-out folk. Darning Woman, her debut album, feels like a dispatch from another past. Akin to lullabies or nursery rhymes, its minimal folk instrumentation contorts into something staccato and strange, led by Coope’s expressive, stratified vocals.
