Doldrums gets tangled in with Montreal sparring partner and tour mate Grimes’ ‘Crystal Ball’ track from this spring. His own ‘Empire Sound’ EP is both out now through No Pain In Pop and available to stream in full over at Altered Zones. ’Crystal Ball’ appears on ‘Halfaxa’ LP through Arbutus Records, Montreal.

Our fourth Nail the Cross festival is Friday and Saturday this week at the Shacklewell Arms in Dalston, East London. Alongside the above line up - featuring Nite Jewel, Pariah, Echo Lake, Sex Worker, Doldrums, patten and more - we’ve a special secret guest and a video installation courtesy of Take Courage gallery. Tickets are available in advance or at the door on either evening. For a taste of the weekend’s vibe, Not Not Fun’s Holy Strays, performing on the second day of the event, has contributed a mix and, beneath that, we’ve had a go ourselves.
The work of Doldrums - aka. 21 year old Montrealer Airick Woodhead - floats in a sea of chopped up samples, disembodied vocals and tribal percussion. We’re happy to announce Empire Sound - a manic EP of electro-hallucinogenic freak outs and fuzzy warm nostalgia - will be available through No Pain In Pop shortly. For now, listen to ‘I’m Homesick Sittin’ Up Here in My Satellite’ below.
Arick Woodhead, a.k.a. Montreal’s Doldrums, recorded a three track session for Daytrotter. Listen here. Announcement on a new release to follow shortly.
