News The Neu Bulletin (11th December 2012)

Every day of the week, Neu gives you a choice show and a selection of new music tips, all in the name of exposing you to something new and exciting.

THE GIG
Two Jackals support Gabriel Bruce, Goldheart Assembly - The Social, London

We’re really, really excited by the prospect of our most recent Discovery Of The Week, Two Jackals. Sure, two rough edged demos won’t guarantee a career of riches and royalties, but there’s every chance these guys from Brighton are honing in on something a little bit special. Tonight they take to the stage to offer up further indication of their deeply intimate, crepuscular musicianship. It’s one you can’t afford to miss.

THE SONG
Troumaca - Lady Colour

We first heard mention of Troumaca when talking to Harry from Peace a few months back. He mentioned they were best mates and that they’d often go to the local house clubs before the whole ‘B-town’ thing took off. The five-piece now lay claim to their debut EP, out on Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood label in January 2013, and they further fledge light on the sheer diversity of Birmingham’s scene. This is more in line with the whimsical, genre-defying work of Fun Adults or the manic pop of Everything Everything than anything B-town’s called its own. ‘Lady Colour’ exists somewhere beyond standard categorisation, and it’s all the better for it.

OTHER NEU BUSINESS
Artful Dodger - Please Don’t Turn Me On (Disclosure Remix)

A Disclosure remix is like a special occasion. I look forward to Disclosure remixes more than I do weekends, these days, although both events tend to go hand in hand. Take this remix of Artful Dodger as a case in point: It’s the sound of Friday emerging in triumphant form. This might be the last we hear of the Disclosure guys in 2012. Here’s to awaiting the next twelve months with baited breath.
