NEU OSCURO
Born out of friendship forged in the dank Manchester underground music scene, Neu Oscuro have a range of continental influences, psych styles and dark post-punk vibes evident. The band’s sound is largely built upon the murkier side of frontman Rhys Bloodjoy’s solo work and adds the booming percussive machine of Le Crowley and David Sheffield. The trio reveal a dangerous and bare-bones side to Bloodjoy’s already intense style of music—still utilising loops, but with the addition of primitive live drums and deep synth basslines.
Their debut EP Desolation via Sister 9 Recordings is a collection of tracks which exude their energy and pull you deep into their world. Having made their debut live performance at The Conjuring festival last year. Having played a run of shows earlier this year, they are back for more dates, this time with Kill Your Boyfriend, who they share a split EP release with; a match made in heaven? Or hell…
