our first miso back after the summer hols! and it’s a stoater. belgian artist and wire cover star wixel joins us in scotland for the first time with his band.
wixel is the young belgian outfit led by wim maesschalck. his debut album ‘heart’ gained great press and led to wixel shows across the globe playing alongside some of the most wonderful artists in modern music. his sound can be described as a warm, organic mix of acoustic instruments and gentle electronic treatments with a lot of care given to detail and subtle nuances. comparisons have been made with bands ranging from hood to fennesz, through helios, xela, album leaf, explosions in the sky, jim o’rourke, mum, xiu xiu, manyfingers etc. (have a listen to the tunes on the myspace page). the wire magazine raved about the release, eventually inviting wixel (through domino) to appear on the cover cd of a recent issue. the band come to glasgow, for their debut show here at miso, as a three piece.
