Petrichor is the moniker for the music of Reuben Eves. He opts to create experimental, unconventionally structured tracks surrounding themes such as his internal struggles with mental health issues including severe OCD; relationships within his life, and social/political commentary. Petrichor’s music is predominantly dark of style and instrumentation, with use of bassy synths, eerie strings and ghostly reverb. Blending a variety of influences from classical compositions to cloud-rap, bringing a fresh take to alternative electronic music.
Having published music online for a few years, this will be his first live gig, performing his upcoming `EP “A Black Dog” alongside unreleased tracks.
Supporting Petrichor will be local legends Bladud! Fresh from supporting rising stars Legss on their “Unreal” tour, they are a six-piece Art Rock band. Since debuting at King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut, they’ve shared stages with the likes of Blue Bendy and Bible Club, quickly carving out a space for themselves in the Edinburgh underground scene. Their music blends intricate – and sometimes abrasive – guitar work with intimate passages, pairing textured instrumentation with spoken-sung vocals and pop-leaning melodies. Bladud! craft songs that are both forward thinking and unexpectedly tender, marking them as one of Scotland’s most compelling emerging acts.
