Alder & Ash (Montreal) * Edmonton debut

https://www.sledisland.com/2018/alder-ash
Alder & Ash is a counterpoint of two extremes. The music lies in stillness, introversion, and penitence. It lies in violence, cacophony, and angst. Alder & Ash plays solo cello with loop pedal to create improvised minimal classical music, with influence of doom metal, ambient, post-rock and noise.
Alder & Ash recently performed a European tour with Calgary’s FOONYAP.
Sled Island’s FFO: Godspeed! You Black Emperor, Chelsea Wolfe, Swans

Pigeon Breeders were formed in 2011 by Will Scott, Myles Bartel and Tyler Harland. Following Tyler’s departure from Edmonton to Halifax in 2016, the band has been exploring the project as a duo as well as with guest collaborators. They are happy to be joined by frequent collaborator Smokey (Smokey & The Feelings, Field & Stream, Boy Church).
