Sónar Chicago expands its line-up thanks to the collaboration with Adventures In Modern Music (AIMM), the five-day festival organised by the prestigious British magazine The Wire and the promoters of the Empty Bottle, one of the city's most important venues.
This year sees the eighth AIMM, featuring a line-up of shows which as always presents several of the most interesting representatives of the sonic cutting edge, in an approach that is in keeping with the Sónar philosophy.
Among the artists present at this year's AIMM are the guitarist Rhys Chatham, a key figure in New York's No Wave scene, who will play in a trio with Tim Barnes and David Daniell; a rare reunion performance from Sleep, one of the pioneers of stoner rock, including members of OM and High On Fire in its ranks; Denmark's Efterklang, presenting Magic Chairs, their third release of multi-faceted pop; the Brooklyn duo High Places, who have received a great deal of deserved acclaim for their lo-fi electronic songs; and Wooden Shjips, representatives of San Francisco's new psychedelia rock.
Other artists featured in the AIMM programme are Julian Lynch, Pocahaunted, Lichens, John Wiese, Bill Orcutt, Ga’an, Rangda (Chris Corsano, Richard Bishop and Ben Chasney), Buke & Gass and Ahleuchatistas.
