News The Neu Bulletin (10th March 2014)

The Neu Bulletin is a daily update of the most exciting new things DIY’s listening to. Some of the music you’ll like, some of it you won’t. We can’t please everyone, sorry.

Every day we offer up a choice show, a song of the day (branched under the understated heading “big Neu thing”) and a little something extra that’s caught our attention. Check back here every day for your latest Neu Bulletin delivery.

THE GIG
Babe, Acrobat - London, Waiting Room

New Moshi Moshi signing Babe heads up the bill tonight, backed by curious Liverpool group Acrobat, who’ve set an early stall as oddball pop triumphs in the making.

THE BIG NEU THING
Kirkis - Mirror


Jazz-leaning electronic music reaches improvisational new heights with FlyLo or Thundercat are behind the desk, but Kirkis makes a fine impression of his own with ‘Mirror’, a song from his debut LP on Elgo Records. The record’s called ‘Liverbleach’, and fingers crossed it’ll contain the same shuffling basslines and higher calling hushed vocals - syrupy in delivery - that so carefully define ‘Mirror’. Catch a reflection and you’ll be knocked for six.

OTHER NEU BUSINESS
Cuddle Formation & Emily Reo - Dreams of Bermuda (Yoshi’s Story)


This is the first time that Noah Klein (of Cuddle Formation) and Emily Reo have ever collaborated, despite being surrounded by the same free-flowing creative oddities for years now. Together, they seem to steer electronic idiosyncrasies into the most playful territory possible, like diving into a plastic ballpit and uncovering a universe of lego underneath.
