THE GIG
Hello 2014 - London, The Old Blue Last


A bittersweet occasion, as Neu bids goodbye to Hello 2014 (it just doesn’t sound right, does it), with the brilliant Relics headlining a bill that also features Tarek Musa’s Spring King, the brooding Youth Man and New Cross newcomers Holy Milk. Goodbye ‘Hello 2014’. Hello actual 2014. This is all getting confusing.

THE BIG NEU THING
Veyu - Running


The smooth-edged moody pop of Veyu isn’t too distant from fellow Liverpudlians Outfit. It’s a take on pop that skews regular form, giving New Order-style rejoice a new name. ‘Running’ is a gorgeous introduction, Adam Bresnen’s vocals leading the way in a triumphant number that rivals the heights of giants.

OTHER NEU BUSINESS
Twin Graves - Brothers


If the charts were destined to cater for misery-soaked anthems, Twin Graves’ debut track ‘Brothers’ would be the melodramatic monster to save us all. Jeremy Aris Polychronopoulos and Zarah Lawless make up the duo, giving post-punk a refreshed, semi-euphoric slant. Instead of basking in scum-soaked drains and wallowing in sweet darkness, they’ve taken a conventionally grim sound into a higher calling.

Twin Graves’ debut EP is released on 19th February as a free download.
