Cardboard boxes, metal guitar, critical homage, attempts to describe things you can’t describe. A one-man Grand Guignol school play.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
A welcoming intermission between events, open to the public.
A loud, buzzing stew of electrical light as noise and convulsive electric guitar squall.

Thuja specialise in a unique and abstract folk music, a devoutly organic tapestry deeply rooted in the sway and bow of nature.
Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.
A dance party love letter to our community, expressing the joy of relation in the abstract and through actual physical proximity.
