Spindle Ensemble are a neo-impressionist chamber quartet performing original compositions by composer and pianist Daniel Inzani. They are Bristol based and formed in 2016 as a part of the experimental music collective ‘Bloom‘.
In September 2019 they released a double A-side single of Chase and Okemah Sundown with accompanying videos by Fred Reed and Marie Lechevallier respectively. Both songs will feature on the second album due for release in 2020.

Formed in Bristol during 2015 Mesadorm's emotive and skilled melding of the pastoral and synthetic is the result of a unique combination of experienced musicianship, diverse cultural tastes and the strong bonds of friendship, with songwriting firmly aimed at the space between the piercing domestic observations of Suzanne Vega and the elemental other-worldiness of Bjork, drawing on contemporary influences including Caribou, Grizzly Bear and Sylvan Esso as well as legendary female luminaries like Carole King, Joni Mitchell and Kate Bush.
Aside from the emotional heft of Mesadorm's music, the pedigree of its members is also not to be underestimated. Between them, Mesadorm's members have played with Paloma Faith, Goldfrapp, Rae Morris, Frank Turner, The Unthanks, The Magnetic North, toured with London Grammar and fronted major-label signing Vaults as well as singing on John Lewis' 2016 Christmas Ad. - Adam Brooks
