For the first time in its nine years, Document presents a specialised music event to coincide with the film festival. Based in the festival’s hub at the CCA, Document will be hosting a mix of Glasgow’s newest emerging musical talent alongside more established acts who have been a mainstay on the Glasgow music scene. Some of the newer acts that will be gracing the festival’s stage are Falconry and No Comet. Both acts have been making a name for themselves over the past year by constantly gigging and picking up prominent support slots for touring acts. Falconry is the guise of John Petrie (formerly of Glasgow psych rockers Prayer Rug and Currently of 60ʼs rock’n’ roll revivalist’s Top Dollar). Mixing calypso rhythms and the poly-rhythmic structure of afro pop with a synth heavy sound Falconry create music suitable to soundtrack a world music dance party, think Panda Bear and Gang Gang Dance remixed by Jamie XX. After recently supporting Brooklyn blog favourite How To Dress Well at the Arches there has been plenty of hype surrounding Falconry of late, make sure to catch his set at The Old Hairdressers exhibition launch on the 17th October.

Whilst Falconry are opening the festival we have No Comet bringing it to a close on the 23rd. With their lush atmospherics and sweeping ambience the Glasgow duo are the perfect act to bring Document 9 to a climactic end. Since forming in late 2010 the band have made a name for themselves on the Glasgow indie scene with support slots for the like of RM Hubbert, Take A Worm For A Walk Week, Happy Particles and Pitchfork.comʼs Best New Music act Juliana Barwick. No Comet’s cinematic style which is similar to that of the quieter parts of Explosions in the Sky, will be a very suitable group to follow The Paddy Hill Award at the closing party.

With Falconry and No Comet bookending the musical side of the festival we have Andrea Marini, a Glaswegian folk musician playing the downstairs bar at the CCA on the 20th. Whilst Andrea has been part of the Glasgow music scene for a few years now, the recent release of his self-titled debut album is set to propel him to new heights. One of the acts that we here at Document are most excited about is Olympic Swimmers. A Glasgow band that have created a name for themselves with a haunting mix of lush vocals, atmospheric guitar lines and a pulsing rhythm section. Olympic Swimmers are redefining and stretching the boundaries of contemporary folk music, the bands music swells and encapulates the listener and creates a truly spellbinding affair. Featuring members from diverse musical backgrounds such as Take A Worm For A Walk Week, Piano Bar Fight, Emma Pollockʼs band and Juliana 13, Olympic Swimmers music allows them to fit onto a wide range of bills. By constantly gigging and releasing original music the band have received critical acclaim from the British music press. As well as featuring a host of live music from the burgeoning Glasgow music scene, Document 9 will also feature DJ sets after every gig. Drawing on the vibrant club scene that the city has to offer we will be showcasing a wide range of established club acts who will be playing till late every night in the CCA.
