Forest Swords Button Factory show will now take place on Saturday February 15th. Original tickets will remain valid for the new date, and for those wishing to get a refund, please return tickets to the point of purchase. On four central foundations, murky drones, hip-hop-inflected beats, spiraling guitar riffs, and ghostly vocal samples, Matthew Barnes gave us an album that pops up on many of the years ‘Best Of 2013’ lists. Following the widespread acclaim that has garlanded his second album Engravings, recorded over 18 painstaking months, UK producer Matthew Barnes aka FOREST SWORDS will evoke techno, dub, drone, and even hip-hop and R&B when he stops off at the BUTTON FACTORY on FEBRUARY 15TH 2014 for his debut Dublin show.

Forest Swords
Wirral’s enigmatic Forest Swords makes textured, gauzy music as indebted to the Liverpool region’s rich musical heritage as it is the windswept and beautiful coastal environment from which it was born. The result is something completely organic, sounding like a mix of Massive Attack’s sample strewn claustrophobia, King Tubby’s sweating dub, with hints of Ennio Morricone’s legendary guitar soundscapes. It’s clear Forest Swords’ influences are as wide and varied as the landscape the his music is created in. Clattering beats, thunderous grooves and cavernous guitar lines rub shoulders with R&B/hip hop shuffles and heavy drones to create a smeared, blurred take on electronic music that sounds weighty, chilling and triumphant. Forest Swords’ deep clifftop epics were first seen on acclaimed EP ‘Dagger Paths’, released via No Pain In Pop/Olde English Spelling Bee. An in-demand re-mixer, he has reworked the likes of These New Puritans, Gold Panda, The Big Pink and Burial, and a free mix tape recently led to an invitation to DJ on BBC 6music.
