Triptych VII: Milo Korbenski, The Roebucks + Route 500

Love Thy Neighbour Presents

TRIPTYCH VII

Triptych VII returns to Brighton this January from 18th-20th January 2024 at The Hope & Ruin, Brighton. Triptych consists of three nights each featuring three of our favourite Brighton-based bands and each accompanied by a lathe-cut vinyl release, one for each night, limited to a mere 15 copies each or 45 across all three releases.

Milo Korbenski: Milo Korbenski is a shadowy, anonymous Brighton solo musician only publicly seen in a featureless white mask, Stetson and denim jacket. However, his deeply expressive take on lo-fi slacker indie invokes a heartfelt intimacy, singing straight from the soul. A true auteur, and inexhaustibly prolific, Milo recorded, designed and self-released a number of albums on streaming platforms (and enjoyed staggering listening figures) without any backing, and only recently signed his first record deal. The fruits of this self-releasing period are collected on 2023 release “Vol. 1”, in celebration not only of his first initiation into a label roster, but also of the thrilling deftness of his songcraft. The collection explores a multitude of catchy-as-hell hooks, clever lyrical wordplay, and deceptively lean instrumentation that belies its own simplicity.

The Roebucks : Formed in 2021, Brighton-raised ‘The Roebucks’ take influence from Americana; shifting from soft alt-country to something altogether rockier. The four-piece puts songwriting at the forefront of their creative process resulting in tunes filled with sweet harmonies, jangly melodies and nifty guitar breaks. The Roebucks have been gigging extensively in Brighton and London and have attracted an ever-growing following. Their first two releases (‘Sable’ 2022 and ‘Tomorrow is a Lie’ 2023) have boosted the band’s profile with extensive play on Marc Riley’s Radio 6 show. With recent time spent in the studio, expect more from the band soon.

Route 500: Route 500 is the musical world of Derek Inver – observational lyrics, compelling vocals and dissociative recollections make up their dynamic, lo-fi sound. The Brighton based project pursues rawness over perfection and captures the darker inner workings and depths of the human psyche. The band have drawn comparisons to the likes of The Microphones, Big Thief and Red House Painters, earning an ever-expanding following of loyal listeners.
