World Sanguine Report + The Glass Key
This fantastic double header brings together World Sanguine Report + The Glass Key at the intimate Servant Jazz Quarters.
The Glass Key is the new project from multi-instrumentalist Andrea Giommi (Sons of Viljems) and guitarist Nicola Lombardi (Uyuni), together with drummer Frank Byng (This Is Not This Heat) creating skeleton blues and magmatic maelstroms. It is devilish instrumental music with melodies and repetition, alternating rhythm and violent noise breaks, combining heavy electronic rhythms with layers of guitars and synth riffs. They released their debut EP “Sleepwalking Home” last year.

World Sanguine Report is a visceral musical leviathan led by composer, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Andrew Plummer, who forged World Sanguine Report to sound his unique and genre defying compositions in 2008.

WSR have released three albums, “Third One Rises” (2009), “Lost In A Dream” (2018) and “Skeleton Blush” (2020).
