Leyden Jars

Leyden Jars

London based duo who debuted with a triptych of albums for the unimpeachable Mordant Music through 2016-2017. Followed by a fourth on the singular Outer Reaches (2020) and were part of the Cafe Oto Takuroku digital series. Their last album 'forgeries' was released in early 2023. "This is one for late nights and misty mornings....musique concrete, haunted folk and some dub attitude" (Rewind Forward). A new album is on the horizon in 2025 via Altered States Tapes out of Hobart, Australia.Beginning as a dare, live shows became central to their way of working. Outings included an inaugural performance in Paris, support for Tropa Macaca and Echtoplasm Girls. Most recently they played Strange Brew, Bristol with Fiesta En El Vacio and Acte Bonte.

Their live emissions are based on electronics that breathe! Incorporating sonic place, sonic space with all manner of sound-makers and once eloquently described as "Dank!!" (Jackson Burton).They have recently set up the Goods Outward label with no set of rules; more a set of possibilities. Mysteries, histories and curiosities. So far, releases include full albums by Middex, Eli!, P.Vivax, picoFarad and a Jim Edgar Morgan soundtrack. With more scheduled for 2025.
