Barbican Estate at Ramsgate Music Hall

The Tokyo-formed, London-based three-piece have spent the past few years carving out their own space within the UK underground, combining the stark geometry of Brutalism with experimental rock, noise and intensely physical live performance.
Their new album sees Barbican Estate pushing that sound further. More experimental and expansive than their previous work, the album stretches the trio’s palette while retaining the raw, confrontational energy that has become central to their live shows. It is a record built around tension and movement - abrasive and playful, dense and spacious, with the band continually pushing against the edges of what three musicians can do together.
