Features The Neu Bulletin (19th February 2013)

From Monday to Friday Neu gives you a gluttonous supply of new music tips, ranging from which shows to head to across the UK, right up to which latest Canadian export is due to take the world by storm, or which local band is breaking big.

Every day we offer up a choice show, a song of the day and a little something extra that’s caught our attention. Check back here every day for your latest Neu Bulletin delivery.

THE GIG
Doldrums, Koreless, Glass Animals - London, Birthdays


If you’re foolish enough not to head to our DIY Presents show with Playlounge supporting The History Of Apple Pie at the Old Blue Last tonight, this one’s for you:

A week ahead of his spellbinding ‘Lesser Evil’ debut’s official release, Doldrums steps forward as either the most forward-thinking fella to emerge out of Canada in years, or a happenstance lunatic who’ll make your brain melt. Your choice. Support from Koreless and Glass Animals tops a scintillating bill.

THE SONG
Ghost Eyes - Another Moon
Another Moon by GHOST EYES

London’s GHOST EYES, for all their evident contemporaries, don’t shirk on making a sound that’s entirely new. ‘Another Moon’ could sit pretty on the debut Gorillaz album, its reggae-inclined bass and reverb-ed harmonica patterns coming straight outta Albarn’s soul. But then again, its title convinces us otherwise. It’s on another moon, another stratosphere, even. In terms of invention and immediacy and combining the two, few things top this.

OTHER NEU BUSINESS
Daykeeper - Morning
morning by daykeeper

Daykeeper is an experimental singer from Portland. Her bandcamp page is loaded with all kinds of philosophical questions; ‘what is birth and what is death?’, ‘what lies beyond the night?’. A listen to Daykeeper will bring out more questions than answers. Somewhere within her Feist-meets-Grouper sleepiness is a bunch of illuminating answers. Dig deep and you’ll get swept away by the truth.
