Quade
Quade are Barney Matthews (bass, vocals), Matt Higgins (hardware), Tom Connolly (violin/guitar) and Leo Fini (drums), four musicians from Bristol. The band semi-seriously defines their music as “doomer sad-boy, ambient dub, folk, experimental post-rock.” Their second album on the AD 93 label, The Foel Tower, was released on April 18, 2025. They collaborated again with two fellow Bristol residents-Jack Ogborne (Bingo Fury, Naima Bock) on production and Larry “Bruce” McCarthy on mixing. The album was recorded at Nannerth Ganol Studios, in Central Wales, and is named after Foel Tower, a regional landmark.
The sound of The Foel Tower is distinguished by a dual nature: it is intimate and powerful at the same time, rich in detail and texture, but also broad and airy. As The Guardian wrote, “the album’s soundscape is immersive and layered…Tom Connolly’s violin conveys angst and beauty with equal intensity.”
