On their debut album, Acoustic Sessions, The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger show their love of quirky and whimsical '60s folk pop, reminiscent at times of Syd Barrett, Incredible String Band and Simon & Garfunkel. Though stripped-down to spotlight their idiom juggling and intriguing wordplay, the sparse arrangements are adventurous and playful, anchored by the beautiful blend of Sean and Charlotte’s voices, acoustic guitar and a smattering of other instruments – a vibraphone here, a banjo there. GOASTT weaves narratives around a metaphysical geography of their own devising, finding a surrealist beauty in the mundane.
Also performing will be Asthmatic Kitty darling Julianna Barwick, and Oryx & Crake will be playing a super special stripped down acoustic/experimental set.
