Med en fortid i bands som blandt andet Psychic TV og Coil, er Drew McDowall lidt af en legende. Den eksperimenterende, elektroniske musiker skaber smukke kompositioner med både noget hjemsøgt og spirituelt over sig. Hans seneste album blev kaldt “majestætisk” af en anmelder – det samme forventer vi af den her koncertaften!

En artist, som ikke indordner sig. Sådan én er Drew McDowall, den legendariske, elektroniske musiker, der har baggrund i musikgrupperne Poems, Psychic TV og Coil. Under eget navn skaber Drew McDowall meditative kompositioner, der føles både hjemsøgte og spirituelle. I hans snørklede lydlandskaber bliver lyde dekonstrueret og samplet, og til sammen skaber de noget, som både er smukt og uhyggeligt. At lytte til hans musik føles som at være på rette vej – og samtidigt helt desorienteret.
Musikeren voksede op i halvfjerdsernes Skotland, og blev som ung en del af Glasgows undergrundsscene. Han startede bandet Poems med sin daværende kone Rose McDowall, og senere kom han, sammen med avantgardister såsom Genesis P-Orridge, David Tibet, Peter “Sleazy” Christopherson, John Balance og utallige andre, til at definere den industrielle musikscene. Senere samarbejdede han med bandet Psychic TV og blev en del af kult-bandet Coil. Og så har han arbejdet med kunstnere såsom komponisterne Kali Malone og Catarina Barbieri, Varg fra Burzum, danske Puce Mary og popduoen LEYA. Siden 2015 har Drew McDowall udgivet musik som soloartist, senest albummet ‘A thread, silvered and trembling’ fra 2024, som blev kaldt “absolutely majestic” i magasinet The Quietus. Vi forventer intet mindre, når den ikoniske, eksperimenterende musiker gæster ALICE til september!

In English:
With a past in bands like Psychic TV and Coil, Drew McDowall is something of a legend. The experimental electronic musician crafts beautiful compositions that feels haunted, as well as spiritual. His latest album was called “majestic” by one reviewer — and that’s exactly what we expect from this concert evening!
An artist who refuses to conform.
Drew McDowall, the legendary electronic musician with roots in the groups Poems, Psychic TV, and Coil, creates meditative compositions that feel both ghostly and transcendent. In his labyrinthine soundscapes, sounds are deconstructed and sampled, coming together into something that is at once eerie and beautiful. Listening to his music feels like being on the right path — and completely disoriented at the same time.
Drew McDowall grew up in 1970s Scotland and became part of Glasgow’s underground scene at a young age. He formed the band Poems with his then-wife Rose McDowall and later, alongside avant-garde figures like Genesis P-Orridge, David Tibet, Peter “Sleazy” Christopherson, John Balance, and countless others, helped define the industrial music scene. He would go on to collaborate with Psychic TV and become part of the cult band Coil. Over the years, Drew McDowall has also worked with artists such as composers Kali Malone and Caterina Barbieri, Varg of Burzum, Danish noise artist Puce Mary, and the experimental pop duo LEYA. Since 2015, Drew McDowall has released music as a solo artist — most recently the album ‘A Thread, Silvered and Trembling’ (2024), described as “absolutely majestic” by the cultural magazine The Quietus. We expect nothing less when the iconic and boundary-pushing musician visits ALICE this September!
