CIEL

Plus Special Guests WYSE + HUTCH

Ciel

There’s an intrinsic mystique to CIEL’s dreamy alt pop gems, that convey a wistful and ethereal quality, juxtaposed with glazy guitar layers, driven basslines, and frontwoman Michelle Hindriks’ mesmeric vocals always standing out. Moving from The Netherlands to Brighton, Hindriks joined forces with Spanish guitarist Jorge Bela Jimenez and drummer Tim Spencer to form CIEL. The three piece have quickly earned kudos for their exquisite live show, having already supported the likes of Hatchie, Sasami and Penelope Isles. Debut EP “Movement”, which came out in spring 2020, soon got praised by the online community, including Clash, Dork and Gigwise and has gathered plays across the UK and US on BBC 6 Music, KEXP and BBC Introducing.

“Shoegaze textures with some gorgeous pop flourishes, CIEL have already attracted word-of-mouth hype” – CLASH

“Shoegaze meets noir rock meets dream pop” – GIGWISE

“Movement is like a hug for your ears - perfect for filling space in these ridiculously quiet spring days” - DORK

Wyse

Wyse’s emotional intelligence is the catalyst for her musical projects.She is driven by a need to express difficult truths, by a visceral need to communicate the life she lives in the time in which she finds herself. Wyse’s music showcases poignant, compelling lyrics propelled by infectious melodies, unexpected rhythms and percussive interludes, growling guitars and swelling synths. Her musical influences inspire a bold quest for sonic experimentation and relatable intimacy. The Anomalies project is borne from the melding of these emotional and sonic influences.
