News The Neu Bulletin (22nd May 2013)

From Monday to Friday, Neu has you covered. In these Bulletins right here, with recommended gigs and a healthy selection of songs, you’ll have a seemingly endless supply of new music tips.

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
Drop Out Venus, Skinny Girl Diet, Ben Dodson - London, Sebright Arms


Before we catch sight of ‘Glamour’, Drop Out Venus bring us ‘Glitz’, launching the one half of their double EP pledge. If all of ‘Glitz”s tracks live up to the momentous ‘Death Is Screaming’, tonight’s launch show is going to be quite the spectacle.

THE SONG
Freddie Dickson - The End
The End by Freddie Dickson

London-based newcomer Freddie Dickson released his debut EP ‘Shut Us Down’ yesterday on Heart Throb Records (co-run by Neu Editor Jamie Milton, we should add): a four-track EP of impressive quality. White all four track could easily be labelled as highlights perhaps true star of the collection is second track ‘The End’. On ‘The End’ Dickson chronicles the end of a relationship and the back-and-forth-feelings which surround it, set against a beautifully melancholic set of drums and guitars by producer John Davies.

OTHER NEU BUSINESS
9mary - L’Amour Est Bleu (Sofar Sounds Session)


Every direction Flo Morrissey aka 9mary turns she steps into unchartered territory. We knew she could sing in French, flip the folk formula on its head, but the true extent of her ability is exposed for good with this Sofar Sounds session in Paris, of ‘L’Amour Est Bleu’. Every note rings out like a source of calm. Long may this ‘continuer’, etc.
