Features The Neu Bulletin (7th 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
Angel Haze - London, Scala


A rare London visit from a prolific New Yorker who’s spitting out demos day after day. Every track of Haze’s to date is upfront and direct, a no-holds-barred experience, so expect the live show to be much same. Which all means this is an essential gig.

THE SONG
Young Wonder - Seventeen


Both extremes of Ireland duo Young Wonder’s sound come to light here, in a track from their new ‘Show Your Teeth’ EP. The harsh, ever-experimental electronic eccentricities of Ian Ring’s production clash headfirst with Rachel Koeman’s constantly shifting, sweet-as-candy vocals. We say clash, but the two segue together like they’ve always belonged in the same environment, and that’s what makes these guys so exciting.

OTHER NEU BUSINESS
Jesse Ruins - Laura Is Fading


Jesse Ruins’ debut full-length is titled ‘A Film’. The Japanese trio have never lacked ambition but by all means this could be Nobuyuki Sakuma and co.’s most wild-eyed turn yet. ‘Laura Is Fading’ certainly sounds like the opening to a cinematic piece, where ice-like chimes step into the foreground while a camera pans out on our proverbial protagonist.
