Formed in 2011, A-SUN AMISSA have been exploring the edges of some kind of avant-rock ever since. The quest to keep delving deep into new voids sees the project moving in and around a diverse chasm of melancholic drone, post-rock, doom and ambient sounds.

A-Sun Amissa is led by Richard Knox and currently exists as a trio with Claire Knox (clarinet/vocals) and Luke Bhatia (guitars). The project has featured an array of members and collaborators over the years including Colin H. van Eeckhout (Amenra, CHVE), Jo Quail and Aidan Baker (Nadja) amongst many others. Recorded output has been released on Richard’s own Gizeh label as well as Belgium’s Consouling Sounds. Most recently A-Sun Amissa released their seventh studio album ‘Ruins Era’ in February 2024.

SELECTED PRESS:

„This is Drone Jazz of the highest level, one that can rival Zorn and Sunn O))), Earth and Nadja and many other artists! Wow! What a record! Now please excuse me, I need to re-immerse myself again in a new era!“
Veil of Sound

“That moment when you stop trying to understand and just accept is wonderful. It can turn a good album into a great one – it happened with A-Sun Amissa‘s wonderful new album Ruins Era, with its thick walls of sound and intricate arrangements.” Everything is Noise

TAVARE is a newly formed Berlin-based trio playing stripped-down slowcore, dirge-pop. The band consists of Aidan Baker, originally from Canada but based in Berlin for over a decade, who makes guitar-based music ranging from ambient/experimental to post-rock to drone-jazz, both solo and with various groups.

Mostly notably the dreamsludge duo Nadja; Tristen Bakker, also from Canada, who makes soft-noise, prog, ambient and punk music as a solo artist and with groups such as VROUW! and Otolitos; and Angela Muñoz, a musician, dancer and performer from Spain, who plays with several groups including nunofyrbeeswax, Vrouw and (also with Aidan) Hypnodrone Ensemble.
