The Fridge Concert Series Season 44: WYWY | Serge Volant

The Fridge gig series continues with the Dubai-based Filipino dream/synth-pop band WYWY (X Alvarez on vocals and xylophone, Mckie on guitar and bass). They’ve been around for a while, not least at previous Fridge Concerts; but their rather good debut album Whispers of Existence dropped earlier this year, ten tracks of brooding, haunting melancholy delivered via swelling guitars, drums, synths and soaring vocals – a bit like Cocteau Twins, and none the worse for that. Support comes from the very cool Serge Volant, a DJ / mixer / synthmeister who comes from Beirut’s dynamic electronic scene. Should be a good night.
