FFO: Don Caballero, The Dillinger Escape Plan, King Crimson
"Math Rock? Noise? Metal? Jazz? On these 10 new tracks, Ni delights more than ever in blurring the lines and confusing their audience, remaining true to their desire to go further in experimentation." - It's Psychedelic Baby Magazine

In just a few years, this 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.
FFO: 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)

We have teamed up with legendary British alternative / post-rock band yndi halda to co-curate a micro-festival in celebration of the 10 year anniversary of their second album Under Summer.
The evening will culminate with a headline set from yndi halda. The legendary band will be performing their first UK gig for nearly 8 years. While yndi halda have previously worn the mantles of “instrumental” and “post-rock” music - especially with their 2006 debut Enjoy Eternal Bliss - more recent releases have occupied considerably broader territories. The closely-crafted vocal harmonies and new musicalities of their last album Under Summer were continued in follow-up EP A Sun-Coloured Shaker, where their forms are embedded into a symbiotic world in which a love of true songwriting, meticulous post-classical arrangement, contemporary indie, choral music, and transcendent longform structure coexist.
There will also be a medley of various solo projects from members of the band with each project performing a short set, including: A Lily, Kibbo Kift, Dau, SA Hampshire, Incorruptible Bodies & Jack Lambert.
Also performing are instrumental rock quartet Codices, shape-shifting alt-rock outfit Ceann Capaill, alternative rock local heroes Mount Forel, blackgaze rising stars World Coda and experimental artist BAG.
A limited number of early bird tickets are available at £25 (including fees). The regular ticket price is £30.
