Blood Wine Or Honey

RSVP RSVP

Blood Wine or Honey create their distinctive sound in the industrial warehouses and hidden rural settlements of Hong Kong, surrounded by the low-end throb of heavy machinery, the lingering scent of hand sanitiser and the humidity of the South China Sea. Made up of seasoned multi-instrumentalists James Banbury (synths, bass, percussion, cello) and Joseph von Hess (vocals, clarinet, sax, percussion), the band produce a heaving, heady brew of brazen sax themes, lo-fi/hi-tech electronics, densely layered cello inflections and motorik drums. These explorations begin on the dance-floor then go above and beyond, taking notes from post-punk and tropical polyrhythms, always anchored by the bass weight of the sound system.

Blood Wine or Honey is James Banbury (synths, cello, bass, percussion) and Joseph von Hess (vocals, clarinet, sax, percussion)
