james K
3 – 4 December 2025
A version of james K was born. Comprised of bones, reactive metals and a larynx with freckled eyes that catalyzes that mix, she can now see through all the schemes. This is the truth. When she chews gum, it’s not clear which one of her personas does it. Since their first release in 2013, describing them separately is grunt work as they switch places, cosplay each other and would most likely lull you into a lonesome dream.
Snapped Ankles
Sat, 13 December
As the name suggests, the tracks that make up Snapped Ankles’ Hard Times Furious Dancing album were designed for live performance. Or more specifically to make people move as if their lives depend on it. Honed at the band’s Forest Rayve club nights throughout 2024 and released in 2025 - it marked a new era for the woodwose.
