News The Neu Bulletin (3rd April 2014)

The Neu Bulletin is a daily update of the most exciting new things DIY’s listening to. Some of the music you’ll like, some of it you won’t. We can’t please everyone, sorry.

Every day we offer up a choice show, a song of the day (branched under the understated heading “big Neu thing”) and a little something extra that’s caught our attention. Check back here every day for your latest Neu Bulletin delivery.

THE GIG
Woman’s Hour - London, Purcell Rooms


Following last week’s support slot at Brixton Academy for Metronomy, Woman’s Hour are headlining a night of their own. They’ve just announced the details of their debut album ‘Conversations’ (see the DIY In The Studio piece in the April magazine).

THE BIG NEU THING
YOUTHCULT - Bored


The anonymous Gothenburg act YOUTHCULT first appeared almost a year ago, and following October’s ’YOUTH CUNT’ EP he’s back with new track ’Bored’, without a doubt his best release to date. YOUTHCULT is an obvious student of the past few year’s Manchester scene with ’Bored’ brining both WU LYF and M O N E Y, in particular, to mind. However, it is far more than a pale imitation; approaching and often reaching those same heights, and YOUTHCULT has quickly appeared as one of the most interesting new acts in Scandinavia.

OTHER NEU BUSINESS
DEERS
DEMO by Deers

Madrid duo DEERS are like nothing witnessed before. They’re essentially writing punk songs with three chords and nothing but brutal brattiness to back it up, too. It’s a strange thing. Ana and Carlotta like putting things upfront, in a way that feels totally fresh, battering down any sense of been-there-done-that. They interrupt each other, drawled out lyrics overlapping and colliding. “I want you to call me by my name,” they chant, in a track that captures the magic of Brigitte Bardot singles and marries it with straight-down-the-line harsh-edged punk.
