BIG EARS FESTIVAL

Alabaster DePlume

He’s a garrulous, heart-on-sleeve rabble-rouser, an anti-cynic keen to reduce the fourth wall to rubble.” – The Observer

Alabaster DePlume is the performing identity of Angus “Gus” Fairbairn, a writer, saxophonist, orator, producer, and guitarist based in England. DePlume’s process that is people-first not product-first ensures that the music is unique; often gem-like. His songs are built on sonorous circular melodies and luminous tones that transmit calmness and generosity in warm waves – unless they’re raging against complacency and the everyday inhumanity of end times capitalism. Most importantly, DePlume brings a valuable transparency to his work. “This is what I’m really doing,” he says. “I want to talk about why I’m doing this, and how I’m doing this.”
