@ + Ellie O’Neill

A concert by the duo @, the songwriting partnership of Victoria Rose and Stone Filipczak, a pop, rock and indie act, at Exchange in Bristol, with Ellie O'Neill and Closer to God also on the bill.

The duo @ is made up of songwriters Victoria Rose and Stone Filipczak, who have been making music on a DIY basis for many years, with roots in underground shows on the East Coast. Their work blends psychedelic folk, indie rock and experimental pop, pairing traditional songwriting with playful, inventive arrangements that sound both homespun and oddly futuristic.

Their debut, Mind Palace Music, found an unexpected following in underground circles. The pair began as a long-distance collaboration and later developed into a live band, performing close vocal harmonies and an offbeat rapport on stage. Their latest album, Autosmile, released on 4AD, adds fuller instrumentation, baroque touches and lyrics that move between darkness, humour and wonder. The duo writes largely in home studios, using lo-fi setups and a close circle of collaborators.

The evening takes place at Exchange, a concert and performance venue in Bristol, with Ellie O'Neill and Closer to God also on the bill.
