O.
O. is the London-based duo of baritone saxophonist Joe Henwood and drummer Tash Keary, whose debut album is highly anticipated: WeirdOs is due out on June 21st via Speedy Wunderground. Honing their fearless sound through a residency at Brixton’s iconic venue The Windmill, as well as on support slots across the UK and Europe with fellow heavyweights black midi and Gilla Band, O. have distilled their unique live energy into their debut album. Featuring production from Dan Carey, WeirdOs is Tash and Joe at their most raucous and free. Across 10 tracks of high-octane instrumentals recorded live to tape, the duo encompass everything from cathartic dancefloor drops, to junglist breakbeats, intricate jazz lines, and sludgy, menacing doom metal. Coming hot on the heels of last November’s debut EP SLICE which won enthusiastic support from the press and indie music lovers, the new single “Green Shirt” is described by the band as “a short rock/metal rinse out. To match the distorted amp sounds coming from Joe, we put Tash’s drums through distorted guitar amps on this one.” Their show promises to be epic!
