O.

O. – the London-based duo of baritone saxophonist Joe Henwood and drummer Tash Keary – return with details of their highly anticipated debut album “WeirdOs” and a colossal new single titled “Green Shirt”.
The album is due out 21st June 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 now distilled their unique live energy into their debut album, “WeirdOs”.
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 DIY, Dork, NME, Louder, and Rough Trade – the new single “Green Shirt” sees the band expanding on their ever evolving, epiphanic sound combining thundering blast beats with labyrinthine sax.
The band describe the single 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. It's named after Tash's favourite green flannel shirt, that was lost several times and then eaten by a dog.”

Tiefes Tröten auf einem gewaltigen Baritonsaxofon, begleitet,  vorangetrieben und in die Irre geschickt durch rasendes Spiel auf einem mit Gitarrenverzerrer körnig zerbröckelten Schlagzeug - so könnte man das künstlerische Konzept von Joe Henwood und Tash Keary beschreiben, die unter dem leicht zu merkenden Namen O. musizieren. Besonders live ist dieses Konzept unschlagbar. Beim donaufestival werden O. ihr Albumdebüt WeirdOs vorstellen, sowie die aktuelle Single Green Shirt, diese handelt vom Lieblingshemd der Drummerin Tash, das kürzlich von einem Hund aufgefressen wurde.
