**\*Location will be shared in the event confirmation email\*** Advance album listening · Artist talk · DJ sets by Loum + Proudfoot (Pique-nique) International Anthem and Pique-nique invite you to a special evening with composer, improviser, instrumentalist, and musical folklorist **Ben LaMar Gay** to celebrate his forthcoming album **Yowzers** — a joyfully irreverent psychedelic fantasia of folklore, free jazz, and avant-garde blues, out June 6 on International Anthem. On Monday, May 5th, be among the first to hear the full album in an immersive setting at Light and Sound Design, a private loft in Greenpoint outfitted with a vintage 4-point Klipschorn sound system. Following the listening, Ben LaMar Gay will join us in conversation to share insights behind the music: his process, collaborators, and the poetic duality behind the title, “yowzers”, as both a sigh of absurdity and a cry of amazement. DJ sets before and after by Loum + Proudfoot (Pique-nique) will frame the night. **RSVP does not garantee entry:** seating is very limited and first come, first serve. Early arrival is encouraged 🧡 Secret location in Greenpoint will be shared in the confirmation email. Accessibility: not wheelchair accessible (stairs only). Presented by International Anthem & Pique-nique. This is a 21+ event.
