THE GIG
Casual Sex, Sisters, Weirds - London, The Old Blue Last


The third of four new music showcases curated by Neu and OBL, this is in all likelihood the best free, all-star fuzzy guitars-fest going. We’re modest. Moshi Moshi signees Casual Sex top the bill, with Brighton’s Sisters making one of their first London visits alongside the hotly-tipped Weirds.

THE SONG
Gay - Chrysotile
Dance Mix 95 by Gay

It’s crystal clear these guys have struck gold. Gay, potentially the possessors of one of the most ungoogleable band names in history, have the theatrical wit of Wild Beasts, the kind of musicianship that makes them stand out in even the most bubbling of scenes in Toronto. ‘Chrysotile’ is exactly the kind of forward-thinking juggernaut that can make a career. The bets are on this doing exactly that.

OTHER NEU BUSINESS
Rainy Milo - Deal Me Briefly


She’s 17, and she packs enough emotional punch to render all your half-scribbled, never-materialised love songs into shreds. This track’s full of ‘no”s and ‘never”s, pushing a big fat dose of despondency on top of some light, ever-shifting percussive patterns. Chances are you’ll be hooked on the voice and nothing but. The bedroom-style of this piece is nigh-on 100% slovenly. But you barely notice. It’s all about the figure at centre stage, the future superstar laying bare.
