Minor Dents Album Launch // Sons of Viljems // Hand of Glory

About

Minor Dents have had an eventful 2026 - releasing their debut EP in January, playing Lewes Psychedelic Festival and many other live dates and then expanding the EP to be released as a vinyl album, thanks to Italian label Disasters by Choice. The trio make propulsive, melodic songs that have drawn comparisons to Broadcast, ESG, Young Marble Giants, Add N to (X) and Silver Apples.
"Bewitching music - jazz, psych and krautrock combine to make an EP of delightful curveball songs" - Monolith Cocktail
"Mesmerising... so tuneful and ecstatic and utterly immersed in the splendour of discovering new sounds, new corridors, new repetitions." - Everett True
"... in the progressive camp, nudging into Actual Jazz, but with enough rave doughnuts to bring hands-in-the-air joyfulness to the proceedings" - Shindig magazine

Sons of Viljems are a London-based duo that create ambient soundscapes and captivating melodic storytelling with hints of electric jazz, drone, heavy dub lines, psychedelic textures and cinematic elements reminiscent of Ennio Morricone. They are label mates with Minor Dents, having released their acclaimed 2024 album 'Lithospheric Melodies' on Italian label Disasters by Choice.

Experimental sound duo Hand of Glory explore the shadows that run beneath ordinary scapes. Ed Briggs (ChopChop, Zool) - artist and poly-instrumentalist - creates shapes, raw analogue textures and rhythms with his hand-made synths and percussion, honing a sound that is at once ghostly, grainy and hoarse. Giulia Cavallini (Presence, Planetary Gong Ensemble) is a gong player and sound healer, conjuring deep resonances that open portalsto the inner underworld, freeing buried energies pressed flat by formalities. Together, they create heavy spectral music that summons, confronts, and transforms.
