O. share new single "176" and announce EU/UK tour dates
O. – the London-based duo of baritone saxophonist Joe Henwood and drummer Tash Keary – have shared the new single, “176”, which is taken from their forthcoming debut album, WeirdOs.
Following on the heels of their lead single “Green Shirt”, the new single “176” sees the duo combining their heavier sensibilities with their more groove inflected hip-hop influences to create something both colossal and danceable. Speaking on the single, the band say it was written “in tribute to the 176 night bus and the unpredictable journeys on board. Always a banger live, we feel like we've captured that heavy energy on record with some help from Dan Carey's distortion machines."
Going on to speak about the album, the band says, “WeirdOs is a dark, heavy album based around our love of riffy basslines, blast beats, dub, noise, and all the weird sounds in between. It was recorded live across 2 weeks in the studio with Dan Carey and aims to replicate the feeling of being at one of our gigs.”
Alongside the single, the band have also announced a run of EU / UK live dates including shows in London, Paris, Hamburg, Berlin, and Amsterdam.
WeirdOs is set for release on 21 June via Speedy Wunderground, and is available to pre-order now. For more information on their live dates, visit otheband.com.
