TUY is the name under which Manchester's underground poet, Craig Dyer, has produced his records since 2009. In 2011, Fuzz Club Records started putting out his prolific catalogue, bringing to light a number of LPs and singles that had only circulated virally on the Internet.
Since then, TUY, with Craig and Olya Dyer as the core of the band, have expanded to a four piece, gaining a solid international fan-base and touring all around the UK and Europe. Gideon Coe has spinned their single "Juliette" on BBC6 and they took part in the "Reverb Conspiracy – Volune One", curated by Fuzz Club and Austin Psych Fest. In June, they rocked up the Eindhoven Psych Lab and they are set to headline Paris Psych Fest in July.
Drown In Sound said of their Eindhoven set: "combining the mesmeric rhythms of The Velvet Underground - Olya Dyer's driving beats make her the new psych generation's Mo Tucker - with rippling feedback associated with Bad Moon Rising era Sonic Youth and a dash of the Mary Chain thrown in as well, they're a captivating force".
Sadovaya" is the 4th lost gem of TUY. Entirely written in St. Petersburg, it takes its name from the street where Craig was living with Olya at that time. Most tracks are love songs inspired by Russian novelists and poets Craig was being introduced to, such as Lermontov, Dostoyevsky and Pushkin. The music was highly influenced by Soviet era Post-Punk bands like Kino and by Russian cinema. Craig said: "the sound of the album has a raw quality that I was never able to recreate. There's a genuine naivety to the recordings that makes it my most visceral, personal record".
The record will come out on limited 400 white vinyl copies and an additional special edition of 100 midnight blue copies with a gatefold cover and silkscreened artwork, which have already sold out on pre-sale. It will also be available digitally on I-Tunes and Spotify.
Manchester indie-dance duo Bulbs of Held combine the talents of sound designer / mixologist Paul Bardsley, and guitarist / vocalist Chris Plack. Bardsley and Plack have worked with sound for all their adult lives, but from strikingly different perspectives. Bardsley spent much of the last decade disc jockeying in London, Berlin, Manchester, Teeside and Ibiza, as well as working in audio post-production studios and on independent films as a sound designer following a sound and media degree. Bardsley now works as an Audiology Technician. Plack rocked out in Brighton indie guitar bands Elysium and Readers Wives during the 90s and 00s, before settling down to a successful academic career in hearing science. Indeed, Plack is one of the world’s leading psychoacousticians, and is currently Professor of Audiology at the University of Manchester. It was in Manchester that a chance meeting between the two led to an exchange of tracks and a cunning plan. Their name comes from a type of chemical connection between nerve cells in the auditory brain, and appropriately their debut EP is a cerebral fusion of disco, electronica, house, trip-hop, indie, and folk. Their love of psychoacoustics and the infinite possibilities of auditory perception inspire their music, which is designed to reach the hair cells that other bands cannot reach.
Soulenalle is the dreamy sound of disco through the ears of someone collapsed in the corner, struggling to maintain focus. Last Day is an electro-folk apocalypse, heavy on mandolins and crashing beats. The ghostly guitar harmonics and bit-crushed effects of Your Teas Your Dinner ooze hidden menace, as the narrator contemplates a life of isolation and false security. Transporter is an undanceable dance track based on a meld of classical guitar riffs in 7:4 time. Finally, Descending is a trip-hop ode to love in the silicon age, with a lilting fingerstyle guitar.
