Hypnotic, rhythmic drones combined with prepared electric guitars

Ex-Easter Island Head is a British collective of composers and musicians that breathes new life into the electric guitar. Using prepared guitars, unconventional playing techniques, and self-imposed limitations, the quartet creates a sound in which minimal means lead to maximum intensity: tight, warm, and surprisingly emotional. The Guardian described their music as ‘one of the boldest experiments in British music’. Their latest album, Norther (2024), was named Album of the Year by The Quietus.

The quartet works with prepared electric guitars, small electric motors, phones, and other unexpected sound sources. By laying guitar cases flat, inserting sticks or keys under the strings, and running motors across the wood, they generate hypnotic drones and slowly unfolding rhythms. Their work blends elements of ambient, krautrock, minimalism, and no-wave, with a focus on repetition and resonance. n the opening act, the experimental Berlin band Sun Kit merges raw rock energy with ethereal electronics, drawing on music from their debut album All the Patterns Inside.
