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
Savages - London, Rough Trade East
If you’re still undecided about Savages and whether their debut album is the real deal, head over to Rough Trade at 6 without paying a penny, and you’ll be silenced. It’s all about their live shows, with Savages, although it’s mighty impressive how the whole experience translates to their first work ‘Silence Yourself’.



THE SONG
BAY. - Honey


Croydon’s BAY.’s self-professed ‘triphop’ is a breath of fresh air. It’s pop that couldn’t take itself any less seriously. A good half a dozen interlinked melodies are set loose on ‘Honey’, which comes off like the product of a thousand teary-eyed Mariah Carey listening parties. You have those too, right? This is right up there alongside ‘With You’ as a glimpse of something special.

OTHER NEU BUSINESS
lugh - dreamhouse


Irish producer lugh deals in fleeting glimpses of calm. You couldn’t place him in the current context - the relative stampede - of exciting electronic artists from the same area. ‘dreamhouse’ is more abstract than Mmoths, less forceful than Forrests, but it’s an immersive piece, where zero distractions are mandatory.
