Ancient Channels

Ancient Channels is a sonic expedition through the imagined past, present and future. The Brisbane based post-punk band consists of Kelly Hanlon playing multiple instruments (Deafcult/Terra Pines) and Chris Preindl (Apparitions/Leavings/Vestiges) performing the drums and percussion which forms the heartbeat of the band’s sound. Ancient Channels draw from a myriad of influences including post-punk, dream pop, shoegaze and the sci-fi soundtracks of early film and television.

As equally roused by time immemorial as they are about ideas of worlds to come, Ancient Channels are a collage of genres. From the hypnotically ceremonial drumming to the more contemporary guitar riffs, dreamy vocals and ambient synth lines, Ancient Channels skirt the lines of antiquated futurism whilst keeping their feet firmly planted in the now.

Ancient Channels has recently multiplied their live band to also include Elise Clark (The New Middle Class), Imogen Kowalczyk (Julia R Anderson), Gerard Lawrence (Start Together), Kelly Saunders (A Country Practice) and Joel Saunders (Spirit Bunny, A Country Practice).
