The Swiss post-rockers Hubris hail from the historic city of Fribourg, where they came together in 2014. The instrumental band is known for a style that blends the experimental side of post-rock with electronic atmospheres and elements of prog and metal. Artists such as Woodkid, Jon Hopkins and The Contortionist all feature among their wide-ranging influences, contributing to a final result that, despite the project’s name, invites introspection. The quartet establishes its musical identity through the length of its compositions, leaving ample room for the full range of emotions, from velvety softness to raw power. They have been compared to bands such as Sigur Rós and Long Distance Calling, a fair comparison given how widely post-rock draws on a mix of poetic atmosphere and raw energy. In recent years, however, the band has ventured further into rock and metal, and combined with a healthy dose of electronica, this has set Hubris on a path entirely their own. It is a path leading to goosebumps, an inward journey and pure euphoria for anyone who encounters the band’s enchanting energy.

Simple Suns is an instrumental band from Oslo, creating intense and atmospheric soundscapes at the intersection of post-rock and experimental alternative rock. Inspired by bands such as Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Mogwai and Russian Circles, their music builds through driving rhythms, massive walls of sound and slowly escalating climaxes. The result moves from the quiet and hypnotic to the explosive and powerful—music best experienced in the room, where its dynamics and energy can truly unfold.
