Ben Woods
Album Preview
Friday 17th July . 7.00PM . Lyttelton Arts Factory
Our very own Ben Woods Group returns to the harbour for an exclusive first preview of a brand new LP, recorded across Lyttelton, Auckland and Melbourne over four years.
This marks their first time performing together since touring 2022's Dispeller, hailed by UK music journal The Quietus as 'a weirdly accessible, creaky-yet-meticulous marvel.'
On July 17th, Woods' six-piece band will transform the Lyttelton Arts Factory into an immersive new space that challenges the tired rituals of performance. Come and hear these warbled, atmospheric and warm new songs for the very first time.
