Ask and you shall receive ~ Efficient Space and Cease + Desist present a long-overdue Melbourne performance of Yuta Matsumura’s Red Ribbon at the Grace Darling on Sunday 21 June.

Also known for work with The Lewers, Th Blisks, Keanu Nelson and a litany of other projects, the lauded solo LP of hypnagogic art rock and crawl-space chamber-pop, Red Ribbon was released via Low Company in 2022. Matsumura is joined by album collaborators Laurence Quinn, Maeve Parker and Haruka Sato, alongside Matthew Spisbah, to realise this sideways suite live.

Support comes from Early World, a new project by Francis Plagne and Mary MacDougall. Tender pop music bent out of shape through strange harmonies, puzzling production choices and touches of absurdity, with James Rushford joining on keys.

Plagne’s catalogue stretches across labels including Horn of Plenty, Black Truffle, Kye Records, Penultimate Press and his own Mould Museum imprint. MacDougall has released recordings with MP Hopkins as Warm Currency on Horn of Plenty, and alongside Hopkins and Christopher Schueler as The Bowles on Kye Records.
