What can we say about DANIEL HIGGS? The ex-Lungfish legend and his banjo return to the UK, this time in a trio with Maya Dunietz (piano/percussion) and Assaf Talmudi (accordion/electronics), after his jaw-dropping 2-disc release on Thrill Jockey last year, Say God - a record that is spare, spacious and quite possibly his most transcendental record to date.

After 11 albums (10 for the esteemed Dischord), Lungfish seemed to grind to a halt in 2005 following the release of Feral Hymns. Simultaneously, Higgs’ solo activities took off, leading to his series of hypnotising outsider excursions for Holy Mountain, Thrill Jockey and others

Thick with folkloric, religious and mythological imagery, his recent recordings are a mesh of banjo plucking, electronic drones and contemplative mantras. His live performances are transfixing, transcendental, unrepeatable experiences and will be well-served by the gothic surrounds of the lecture hall in Summerhall - located on the southside of the city.

Support comes from sculptor/instrument maker/composer/performance artist SARAH KENCHINGTON, one of the stand-out acts at this year’s Music is the Music Language festival.
