Archive, Son Lux and Young Fathers are Headlining the EB Festival in Bratislava
# Archive, Son Lux and Young Fathers are Headlining the EB Festival in Bratislava ## Our bash in Bratislava is planned and the theme is alternative hip-hop. As the inaugural date of our [Spring Festival Season][1]{: target="_blank"} draws ever closer, we're incrementally unrolling the lineups for the gigs that will hit Warsaw, Bratislava, Prague, and Cologne. Last month, we revealed the indie-pop and house-oriented acts that will perform at the [EB Festival in Warsaw][2]{: target="_blank"}, and today we're unveiling the roster for our Bratislava blowout, which takes place at the Refinery Gallery on March 6 at 20:00. This time, the acts all have roots in odd rap. The headlining band, Archive, has traversed the grey area between electronica, trip-hop, and progressive rock since the mid-1990s. The London group's most recent album, *Restriction*, hit shelves this week. Check out the title cut below. We've enlisted American post-rock/alt-hip-hop auteur Son Lux to support Archive. He's something of a jack-of-all-trades who has made soundtracks for films like *Looper* and *The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby*. The former Anticon signee recently locked in a deal with the legendary Glassnote label. Lux's former Anticon labelmates Young Fathers are also on board. The Scottish rappers won the Mercury Prize last year for their last Anticon album, *Dead*. Our [TMTS][3]{: target="_blank"} graduate Adi Ulmansky will close out the Bratislava lineup. The Tel Aviv-based up-and-comer fits the bill for our festivals in [Warsaw][2]{: target="_blank"} and Bratislava, as she skates the line between indie electro and rap with grace, attitude, and earworm pop hooks---which is why we've booked her to perform at both gigs.
