In recent weeks we have had Songs Of The Day from some pretty strangely named bands, but I think it’s safe to say that Put Your Hands Up For Neo-Tokyo (or the even more ridiculous PYHUFNT) take first prize in the odd moniker stakes.
The Bergen-based act are apparently already a pretty big deal in their home country, having been nominated for the Norwegian equivalent of a Mercury Prize. Here, though, their ambitious, musical theatre-meets-AnCo work is virtually unknown.
‘Blood of Brethren’ is the band’s next single, and its scope is impressive. One moment wailing guitars, the next Casio drumbeats, the track is reminiscent of World’s End Girlfriend in its glorious schizophrenia.
PYHUFNT’s debut album is getting a UK release in December. In the meantime, download ‘Blood of Brethren’ below.
