In the run up to this year’s Great Escape, which takes place in venues across Brighton from 12-14 May, we’ll be previewing some of our favourite artists who are playing the festival this year.

Alexander Tucker is one of those musicians who I never get tired of seeing play live. One of the sudden rush of loop pedal-based live acts that all appeared on the scene at around the same time a few years ago, he is also one of the more inventive in that group.

Building upon the dark folk of his recorded output, he draws on post-rock and doom metal, using guitar and cello to build monstrous soundscapes, which see improvised and pre-written pieces merge together to create one continuous, utterly captivating performance.

With his latest album ‘Dorwytch’ released last month, he’ll be taking to the stage at the Pavilion Theatre on 12 May. To get into this show, plus all the other hundreds of panels, sessions, parties and gigs taking place at The Great Escape this year, get your delegates pass from escapegreat.com.
