Strange Cavalry

Strange Cavalry the band

About

Genre: Acousmatic / Tape music

Region: London and South East


"Alternative two piece band from Brighton crafting a haunting mix of etherial acoustic loops, electronic beats, alternative/pop hooks with a twist of angst set against subtle ambient soundscapes. Strange Cavalry seems to thrive on antonym and juxtaposition in every sense, both musically and lyrically. Difficult themes are handled with childlike innocence; restlessness and uncertainty is mixed with peace, while the darker melodies are interwoven with contrasting sweet harmonies." Head Cleaner
