Mark Harwood of Penultimate Press present on Friday 6 August 2010.

Lambkin will read selections from first book of writings 'Dumb Answer to Miracles' (2009), alongside other works. The evening also marks the release of a new Penultimate Press book 'Dripping Junk' comprising 100 drawings Lambkin made during a recent trip to Miami FL.

Call Back The Giants is the new project by former Shadow Ring keyboard governor Tim Goss. Their brooding synth melodrama speaks of internal struggle, of consoling brutality, of a fantasy world where the author is king. For fans of Jasun Martz, Dr. Jeff Meldrum, Whitehouse and the Shadow Ring's classic / skewered Lighthouse/"Lindus lp's".

The performance at Oto will be their global debut and comes hot on the heels of their debut full length LP release on KYE following on from their highly acclaimed s/t 7"

For the evening, Lambkin is accompanied by Helm aka Luke Younger, who explores field recordings, tape loops, percussion, and electronics. Helm alludes to narrative via abstract compositions which create a tense, daunting environment.

With Helm, elements of musique concrete, noise, drones and tones all play a role in a world where the sound of the human voice morphs into spectral rust, a shimmering klang swims alongside passive noise and the relationship between acoustic and electronic derived sounds forms a solid foundation.

Younger has previously toured extensively through Europe and the US as a member of Birds of Delay with artists such as Emeralds, Pain Jerk, Son of Earth, and has shared bills with the likes of Wolf Eyes, Sonic Youth, The Ex, The Skaters, Sightings, Aaron Dilloway.
