SUMMARY:Trimdon Grange Explosion + Shadows Of Stephen
LOCATION:London Betsey Trotwood
DESCRIPTION:- Initially falling together from the ashes of sometimes celebr
 ated electric-folkies The Eighteenth Day Of May back in 2006\, Trimdon Gra
 nge Explosion have a way of taking their time. Built on the strong friends
 hips of the individuals going way back\, their approach to music-making ha
 s involved infrequent London based live appearances\, but lots of recordin
 g\, the results offered forward only when necessary.Their self-titled firs
 t album came appeared in CD-R form\, but picked up by Feeding Tube/Cardina
 l Fuzz in 2017\, prompting Rolling Stone’s David Fricke to describe them
  as “arch modernists within their historical domain…like a farm-house 
 Velvet Underground.”The years following have seen the departure of found
 ing member\, viola player Alison Cotton to concentrate on well received so
 lo work\, but still appearing on three tracks on the new album Dreams Buri
 ed Under The Sea. Alison’s departure preceded the arrival of new member
 \, formidable bassist Ben Reed whose long resume includes work with Frank 
 Ocean\, Sampha and Hannah Peel\, in addition to making solo records\, the 
 most recent being Bandaged on Esoteric in 2023. His arrival frees up origi
 nal bassist Mark Nicholas to join Ben Phillipson on guitar duties. Phillip
 son also takes sole charge of vocals\, double-tracked and harmonised. Drum
 mer Karl Sabino completes the line-up\, also handling most of the recordin
 g and production.Not completely putting their folk tendencies to one side
 \, the album documents a band learning to communicate with the new line-up
 \; a sound that stretches from the Albion Country Band’s pastoral intric
 acy to Pavement’s lo-fi inscrutability by way of The Rain Parade/Byrdsia
 n school of chiming guitars.A recent live review in Shindig! (July 2025) n
 oted the “propulsive ride-cymbal-driven drum and bass groove underpins i
 ntertwining dual raga-drone guitar lines\; when one goes high\, the other 
 goes low and vice versa\, making for sublime psych-head listening”\n\nBo
