Love Thy Neighbour Presents

UZUMAKI

Uzumaki’s debut album ‘waded’ will be released 13th September via Everything Sucks Music. Its killer lead single – ‘Scenes of Beauty’ – introduced the scuzzed-up, Britpop-imbibed, singalong magic of ‘waded’ with aplomb. This band embody that 90s slacker-grunge vibe but Uzumaki’s music itself is anything but slack, with a crucially tight rhythm section, fuzzed-up guitars, the hookiest of hooks and earworm choruses in spades. Inspired by the likes of Teenage Fanclub, old school Weezer, Pulp, Blur, Sonic Youth and Sebadoh, the band have a fresh and energised take on some classic sounds.

‘waded’ was recorded at The Bookhouse in London with Tom Hill. As Cheung says: “Tom is amazing at capturing the sound of the room, keeping a realness to the recording which is so often lost these days. The demos for this album were very complete, with bells and whistles already locked in, so the recording session was less about the crafting of the songs than it was about capturing the natural energy of us playing the songs for real.”
