PROUDLY PRESENTING O.

O., consisting of the baritone saxophonist Joe Henwood and drummer Tash Keary, have announced their debut album WeirdOs, out on June 21st. Ahead of the album release, O. have also shared their new single ‘Green Shirt’.  

 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 – 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.”
