London’s Cusk have shared their much-anticipated debut single “Blu Tac Piano”, a haunting, evocative introduction to the group and one that has already become a live favourite in their early sets.
It marks the second release from The Bird, a new tastemaker label from Charlie Wayne (Black Country, New Road) and Mita De (ex-Ninja Tune, ex-Brownswood) who also put out an acclaimed EP for Ninush last month.
Cusk is the alt-rock group fronted by duo Esmé Creed-Miles and Evie Hilyer-Ziegler. The pair met at an improvisation night at the Shacklewell Arms and soon became close friends and collaborators, drawn together by a shared instinct for making music that is raw, exploratory, and emotionally direct.
Since their first show a couple of years back at The Windmill, Brixton, Cusk have quickly become a presence on the London music scene. In that time, alongside select headline performances, they have supported the likes of DIIV, Geordie Greep and Tiberius B.
Catch the band live at Sound From Another CityFestival, Salford on May 3rd.
Further new music and live dates will follow soon.
