Need a reason to attend These New Puritans? Here you go!
Some bands reinvent themselves because they must. These New Puritans reinvent themselves because curiosity is the whole point. They’re one of those rare acts whose music feels like it’s investigating something: ritual, architecture, history, desire, the body — but done with a sense of poise rather than academic distance. Art-Pop, Post-Rock, Neoclassical textures, percussive obsession… and somehow it always remains unmistakably them.
At Roadburn, this translates into a set that can be beautiful and unsettling within the same breath. They’ll give you moments that feel like a grand hall opening (bells, space, resonance) and then twist it into something stranger. If you enjoy being challenged in a way that still feels physical — where a drum hit or a sudden silence land like a plot twist — don’t even think twice.
These New Puritans will perform on Saturday, April 18!
