Transient Spirits

Miss Havisham’s Digital Clock + Eke Homo + Whiskey Widow - Transient Spirits- Dynamic alt-rock trio with plenty in the way of hooks, possible nod to Muse and Radiohead in places. Miss Havisham’s Digital Clock - MHDC are North London’s velvet-clad oddballs, mixing alternative rock, chamber pop, and new psychedelia into something gloriously unpredictable. Think steampunk swagger, cabaret flair, and songs that swing from dreamy (Trifle Filled Skies) written on The Ray Davies songwriting course to defiant (Happy Song). With four songwriters, a singing saw, and the ability to turn art-school ideas into irresistible tunes, their live shows are as theatrical as they are electric… Eke Homo - with a crisp, attractively meandering psych/post punk vibe, these lovelies span a kind of Velvets via Tindersticks lofi grooviness that’s actually all their own. Really interesting songs and a nice dirt under the fingernails realism throughout. Whiskey Widow -a mingling of blues-infused rock with driving guitar riffs, energetic drumming, and powerful vocals and a hint of a ska backbeat with punky punch.
