THE GIG
Casual Sex, Happyness, The Eskimo Chain - London, Hoxton Bar And Kitchen


Glasgow studio-heads Casual Sex continue to dazzle with retro-tastic rock ‘n roll. Tonight they’re joined by Happyness and a Syd Barrett-devoted bunch of newcomers called The Eskimo Chain, who Neu featured in Monday’s bulletin.

THE BIG NEU THING
NUNS - Blood Red Snow
Blood Red Snow by NUNS

North Carolina’s NUNS aren’t celibate when confronted with fuzz pedals and overlapping, harshly-pronounced acoustics. They’re suckers for the stuff. On ‘Blood Red Snow’, two vocals clash and collide, occasionally hitting some kind of middle ground when they pronounce in unison, reaching a venomous bite. In the background, acoustics steer off course like early Grizzly Bear, creating an echo chamber of crazed chaos. By ‘Blood Red Snow”s sleepy climax, every direction has been tried and tested, each option considered and thrown to one side.

Thanks to DIY’s Tom Walters for the tip.
