ArcTanGent 2015 [Festival Preview]
If you’re a regular TMMP reader, you appreciate the fact that the best music is created without boundaries. Although normal isn’t always boring, stepping outside your comfort zone is essential if you want to start adding the spice of variety to your life.
ArcTanGent has a stellar reputation for hosting bands whose music is free from everyday restraints. Common time signatures and orthodox melodies are a rarity at this UK-based festival, and progressively-minded pilgrims travel from far and wide to its south Bristol site to share their passions with likeminded others. This year, TMMP will be among them.
ArcTanGent’s core philosophy is respectable enough – but a quick glance at its lineup provides much to start salivating over. From big names like Cult Of Luna, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Deafheaven, 65daysofstatic and The Fall Of Troy to solidacts including Vennart, CHON, Rolo Tomassi, and The Algorithm to up-and-coming winners like Delta Sleep, Black Peaks, Cleft, We Never Learned To Live, Polymath, and Eschar, ATG is set to challenge and reward in equal measure.
According to ArcTanGent’s website, this festival will be “…the best weekend of your summer, guaranteed!” – and although the competition is undoubtedly stiff, it’s looking likely that the reality will more than live up to the hype. In the end, there’s only one way to know for sure – and that’s to get involved ASAP.
