Brooklyn-based indie pop band The Drums create a sound installation that provides ambient sounds inspired by the 1950s and 60s, spiked with howling wind and the crackle of a warming fire. Singer Kimisin Kreft will perform a special music set incorporating an insect motif in the cabin-like space. Performer Ryder Cooley will be joined by Hazel, who is a taxidermy sheep head, and the two will create a bittersweet performance of ballads mixing the haunting sound of the singing saw, accordion, and ukulele. The evening will culminate with this uncanny world of Ryder & Hazel merging with Kimisin Kreft in an unique sound experience. |
