Oyama

Oyama

27 Sept 2025 - 27 Sept 2025

Oyama is a five-piece shoegaze/indie collective from Reykjavik who has just released their second full-length album Everyone Left, which finds Oyama strikes a balance between elusive reality and tangible dreams. Their new album has a contemplative vibe and shares thematic threads with its predecessor; their idiosyncratic songwriting earning recognition from leading music media. As KEXP's Jim Beckmann noted "Sharing a name with the relatively small Japanese central city, \[the band\] has grown into a sonic metropolis of multiple influences, from psychedelic to ambient." Featuring guitarist Alison MacNeil from cult Icelandic-Canadian math rock unit Kimono, Oyama creates a sound that combines a steady urban pulse with serenity, and with guitar delay causing ripples on the sonic pond, their sound is truly immersive. Tracks were recorded at Sundlaugin studio of Sigur Rós and mixed by Árni Hjörvar Árnason (The Vaccines). Presented by Turtle Tempo. This is an 18+ event

Roman Joon

Roman Joon

19 Oct 2025 - 19 Oct 2025

Roman Joon will be coming to London on October 17th. After kicking these songs around different studios across the country, Roman Joon is now preparing to release his debut album, Mighty Fine - a self-produced record mixed by James Dring (Gorillaz, Jamie T, Blur). Crafted using manual techniques like re-recording audio and voice clips through tape machines to warp and glitch sound, the album’s rhythmic foundation leans into dreamy synths, soft electronic beats, and guitars soaked in indie-psychedelic soundscapes. Influences include Dijon, Tame Impala, Amen Dunes, Ben Howard, and Big Thief. Behind the Roman Joon moniker is Brighton-based Michael Baker, also one half of the electronic pop duo Sock Drawer and one half of Bloody Tourist, alongside Christopher Matthewson (aka Franklin Mansion). Michael also co-runs Talk Show Host Records - a Brighton-based label and creative collective focused on championing unique and genre-blurring independent music, serving as a home for many of the projects he’s involved with.
