Locust

Zebulon, Los Angeles

**Locust** Locust, the project of British electronic composer Mark Van Hoen, drifts between ambient, IDM, and melancholic pop—music that feels both intimate and cinematic. With Morning Light (1997), Van Hoen shifted from dark ambient soundscapes into richly layered songs, merging fractured techno rhythms, ghostly vocals, and unexpected samples. Critics compared its emotional gravity to hearing Portishead for the first time—unsettling, emotional, and impossible to forget. After making their long-awaited return at And Always Forever, Locust now plays their second live show at Zebulon, with a renewed lineup featuring vocalist and keyboardist Olive Kimoto. The performance will weave new material with selections from Morning Light.
