Spanish Horses, a five-piece underground rock band from London. After forming in Paris in 2023, they built a strong local following through frequent shows and thanks to the EP As She Rides By, which marked a turning point. They’ve recently toured the UK and Ireland, supporting Public Image Ltd. and played at Tramlines Festival, while also headlining shows in London. Committed to forging genuine connections with their audience, the band continues to write fresh and sincere music with the aim of making a lasting impact internationally.

Xav Clarke is an artist blurring the lines between homespun philosophical lyric writing and wonked-out cinematic soundscapes informed by his composition work for animation and film.

His songs fuse realism with transcendentalism - singing about the personal amidst the enormous, life between extinctions, set to a psychedelic indie folk soundtrack where everything that bleeps and bloops is covered in moss and someone's dug out some enthusiasm for life from between the rocks.

His forthcoming album ‘Fossil Forest’ is due in May, produced by Mercury winning producer Mike Lindsay (of Tunng/LUMP) and accompanied by a three week tour of the UK and Europe. Old 80s Japanese Koto Synths and Bass Recorders give the record a fantasy sound that combine Xav’s compositional arrangements and cinematic qualities with songwriting that is inspired as much by the cosmic tendencies of The Flaming Lips, as the open hearted directness of Neil Young.
