Brána + C-Pentane + itlookssinister

Post-rock, drone folk, screamo. The third in the series of MeetFactory’s summer concerts will present three emerging projects – C-Pentane, Brána, and itlookssinister – at the Factory’s backyard outdoor stage on Tuesday, July 14.

C-Pentane is a Prague-based band whose monumental sound oscillates between post-folk and post-rock, blending fragility with urgency. With a lineup of guitar, drums, cello, and violin, they create compositions filled with hope, tension, and longing. Their debut EP, released on the Kladno cassette tape label Věžáky Records, will be launched as part of this show at MeetFactory. Not only for fans of midwest emo, caroline, or Black Country, New Road.

Brána, a drone-folk duo with Moravian roots, dives into the endless depths of hypnotic repetition, with subtle references to folk motifs. They paint a picture of beauty, horror, and the strange art of waiting – and will present new material for the very first time. “Everything falls off me, and then I fall too.”

The only current Czech-Slovak emo band whose members’ average age doesn’t exceed twenty, make their debut appearance for the Prague audience. itlookssinister is a fresh Košice-based screamo quintet that released a striking debut record which caught attention not only on the Czech-Slovak scene but also in Asia. A more modern and technical approach to raw 90s screamo songwriting structures, combined with heart-wrenching lyrics, clearly shows this is not just another meaningless Orchid fan club.
