The tour coincides with the band’s appearance at New Zealand’s Camp A Low Hum festival, which doesn’t usually reveal artists before the event. But in this case they have. Cool!
The band headlined proceedings at Sugar Mountain 2011 with a floor-tom-heavy extravaganza, with their set now featuring multiple hybrid acoustic/electronic drummers, dense, laptop-generated soundscapes, heavily processed vocals, and a distinctive, starkly minimal light show, Aa’s live performances are atmospheric, frenetic, and constantly surprising.
