Kilynn Lunsford
As if Britney Spears’ Blackout was reimagined by Throbbing Gristle, Lunsford’s debut straddles unclear boundaries between electro-pop, post-punk and the avant-garde; it delves into those liminal spaces between pop culture and experimentalism, between city and country, between verse and chorus.

Custodians Of Human Succession is Lunsford’s first work since the dissolution of her former project, noise-punk outfit Taiwan Housing Project in 2021.

Inspired by her longtime love of collage, and an “exquisite corpse approach to photography”, Lunsford and chief collaborator Don Bruno developed a DIY recording style the two jokingly referred to as “Fluid Fidelity”: We would record things very flatly”, explains Lunsford, “ with cheap broken gear and off-time rhythms, sounds with no reverb or sense of space – almost like an auditory hallucination – and combine that with high-end preamps and high-end mics, so that my voice is out front almost to the point of being disembodied from the music.”.

Embellishing this collage, more ornately still, are Lunsford’s caustic lyrics, packed as they are with a potent blood-stream of unflinching surrealism and discomfiting satire.

The Bomber Jackets are "singer and keyboardist from Pheromoans + Sian from Ravioli Me Away etc, about to commence work on our third album."

Pay what you can afford tickets available on the door at the event for anyone who would otherwise be unable to come. No one turned away for lack of funds.
