4000 records presents: slow music club 04 ft. , a.d. heaven, plainer, headland, and noir et blac

some space to sit and soak in sound

slow music club is an event series focused on illuminating artists who occupy the quieter corners.

It’s for those whose music rewards a considered ear in an attentive room. Season Three’s dedicated music space (upstairs at echo&bounce) is the perfect place to house this concept with the fourth iteration of the series featuring four local-ish acts whose sounds traverse slowcore, post-rock, neoclassical and improvisational terrains.

Plainer

Plainer is a Meanjin-based song-disassembly ensemble. Minimalism attempted with as many people as possible. “Here for a long time, not a good time.” (sic) They’ve shared stages with Wednesday, Codeine, Florist, Alan Sparhawk, Papa M, and Cash Savage, and have played at Sonic Masala and Sonic Boom festivals.

Their debut album, Partnerships was released to quiet nods and kind words in March 2026.

MJ Lenderman once called them “a Monster Band”, which could mean several things.

Headland

Headland is a collective that performs intuitively to projected film. In this configuration the collaborators will respond to images of live coral from Meanjin/Brisbane-based researcher Brett Lewis.

Performers will include Julia Beiers (bass), Lake Kelly (harp), Luke Peacock (guitar/synth) and Murray Paterson (guitar).

Noir et Blanc
Meanjin based project Noir et Blanc sets out to fuse the relationship between neoclassical piano and modern film soundtracks.
