THE GIG
Nai Harvest w/ Seahaven, Battle Lines - London, Birthdays


Tonight legendary emo band Seahaven make a live return to the UK, and they’re joined by the most fitting of supports in Sheffield “gross boy band” Nai Harvest, one of the country’s most exciting new bands.

THE BIG NEU THING
CANCER - Same Color As Digital Photography


Danish duo CANCER provoke with the name, then they go about winning you over with a dazzling debut track. ‘Same Color As Digital Photography’ is an initially curious, uncustomary folk track that eventually reveals a royal flush of a hand. Like fellow Danes Blaue Blume - another essential experimental pop acts - Kristian Finne Kristensen & Nikolaj Manuel Vonsild know how to mix falsetto and almost indecipherable lyrics into a pop equation. Think Antony and the Johnsons pouring his soul in a completely different way.

OTHER NEU BUSINESS
DP - Jabar


20-year old DP knows how to get a trunk rattling. Sounding like a Stones Throw murderer, DP is bringing back the initial fear and excitement of Odd Future with ‘Jabar’. The first track from his upcoming ‘Designer Casket‘ project, ‘Jabar’ sets the tone, and it sets it pretty bleak. Bursting through with such a hard as nails breakthrough track, he’s showing he’s capable of a throwback that’s anything but a throwaway. [Joe Price]
