The track is lifted from their upcoming debut album&nbsp;\u2018WeirdOs,\u2019 which was announced earlier this year and is due out&nbsp;June 21&nbsp;via&nbsp;Speedy Wunderground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Honing their fearless sound through a residency at Brixton\u2019s 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,\u00a0\u2018WeirdOs\u2019. Coming hot on the heels of last November\u2019s debut EP\u00a0\u2018Slice\u2019 \u2013 which won enthusiastic support from DIY, Dork, NME, Louder, and Rough Trade &#8211; and once again featuring production from Dan Carey,\u00a0\u2018WeirdOs\u2019\u00a0is Tash and Joe at their most raucous and free. Across 10 tracks of high-octane instrumentals recorded live to tape, the duo encompasses everything from cathartic dancefloor drops, to intricate jazz lines, and sludgy, menacing doom metal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following on the heels of their lead single <em>Green Shirt<\/em>, which was given its first play on Mary Anne Hobbs\u2019 BBC Radio 6 Music show, and their recent dancefloor banger <em>176<\/em>, <em>Micro<\/em> showcases more of the band\u2019s electronic influences. Combining junglist breakbeats with corrogated sub-bass leaning sax lines that warp and flex around Tash\u2019s high-octane rhythms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch the video for <em>Micro<\/em> via YouTube below or stream the track via all platforms&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/urgwbz8ab.cc.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=0019Xv4ux4AEjEdVk5Jk9m9sTDoIs854yeb9cmZeI2mrvtXrAQ0a-F-N0TRbWjUbZlGrtNiUG7lp98umqB91nr4oWYxVIMaUn0rNDPi3m1dSMQla3wKODtxv0DCblBcbMnSP4NukSuPFmH6hc36YQD_CG2Kpep-PA-y&amp;c=ybEJ-FN1syKCQIrYaSYGHCNoponRLUiBu2Hd8fPzuuhBFmLfTQFGCg==&amp;ch=Uomw3vSoPtwgDM5sVoDreg3oQ0XsWHq81fUbOD6I-6DgG2XEezv4eA==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/F1YpohBy6EU?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-CA&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Going on to speak about the album, the band says, \u201c<em>WeirdOs&nbsp;is a dark, heavy album based around our love of riffy basslines, blast beats, dub, noise, and all the weird sounds in between.

The dates come on the heels of the band\u2019s successful first US shows and include appearances at WOMAD Festival, The Great Escape Festival, Deer Shed Festival, Manchester and Edinburgh Psych Festivals, and more.

Featuring the immense, vibrational bass-weight of Joe Henwood\u2019s baritone saxophone played through his array of dub and distortion pedals, as well as the blisteringly precise yet expressively fierce drumming of Tash Keary, the South London duo\u2019s shows are an assault of sound. With only two instruments, O. encompass everything from the euphoria of the dancefloor to the earworming hooks of memorable melodies. Theirs is an infectious, irrepressible music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cWe\u2019re just two people making a big sound, unafraid to give it our all when we play,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;Joe says.&nbsp;<em>\u201cWe\u2019re interested in taking it to the limit \u2013&nbsp;it\u2019s something that comes naturally to us.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cThe album name is inspired by people coming up to us after shows and saying, \u2018this feels like music for weirdos,\u2019\u201d&nbsp;<\/em>Tash laughs.&nbsp;<em>\u201cWe listen and jam to lots of different styles of music and it all filters through naturally in our sound \u2013 we\u2019re just expressing ourselves.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tash first took to the drums as a shy nine-year-old, channelling its monolithic sound as a means of self-expression. As the only musician in the family, music never seemed like anything other than a hobby, but after joining grassroots music organisation Tomorrow\u2019s Warriors in 2018 and becoming part of their Female Frontline band, she found herself embedded in London\u2019s burgeoning jazz scene. At the same time, Joe was building his reputation as a key player in the capital, after spending a decade with afro-jazz outfit Nubiyan Twist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manoeuvring around similar scenes, the pair finally met after being hired for the same gig in 2019 and noticed an immediate chemistry.&nbsp;<em>\u201cI felt a real connection playing with Tash,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;Joe says.&nbsp;<em>\u201cWe shared the same mentality of telling a musical story, rather than just shredding technical ideas.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They resolved to keep jamming together and once the Covid lockdowns hit in 2020 and all gigs were pulled, they finally found the time.&nbsp;<em>\u201cWe joined up as a \u2018bubble\u2019 and spent pretty much every day improvising with each other for months,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;Tash says.&nbsp;<em>\u201cWe would play along to tracks we liked and talk about our influences, from Deftones to A Tribe Called Quest, Radiohead and Floating Points. We became really excited about introducing each other to music and rekindling our love of finding new music as kids.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harnessing that childlike enthusiasm allowed the duo to move away from the jazz music they had been playing and to reconnect with their first loves of heavier, noisier sounds. For Joe, that meant revisiting his first experience of seeing legendary experimental British saxophonist Pete Wareham play with his Acoustic Ladyland band as a teenager and witnessing the electronic wizardry that could emerge from processing a horn through a pedal board. While for Tash, it meant smashing through the backbeat of rock tracks, letting her hands fly over the drum kit and cymbals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Settling on the initial band name Toe \u2013 as an elision of their names \u2013 before changing to O. to avoid confusion with the Japanese post-rock group Toe, Tash and Joe began playing their first shows, which were restricted to pandemic livestreams.&nbsp;<em>\u201cWe tested our neighbours\u2019 patience,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;Tash says.&nbsp;<em>\u201cUntil our third show got booked, which was at The Windmill.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Transforming seamlessly from living room jams into the sweaty, packed confines of The Windmill, the band soon caught the attention of venue booker Tim Perry, who was taken by their capacity to produce such an intense flow with so few instruments.&nbsp;<em>\u201cWe call him our Fairy Godfather because he gave us a residency at a venue where we could really hone our sound to a live audience,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;Joe says.&nbsp;<em>\u201cThen he asked if we wanted to go on tour with black midi.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the experimental trio on 25 dates across the UK and Europe in 2021 and 2022, it was here that O. drilled down to the essence of their onstage presence.&nbsp;<em>\u201cWe were so inspired by the playfulness black midi shared onstage and it gave us confidence to get darker and heavier in our sound,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;Tash says.&nbsp;<em>\u201cWe also really built our stamina to be able to play fast and hard with just the two of us for a full hour.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flexing those live muscles further on tour with Irish post-punk group Gilla Band, O. were then introduced to black midi\u2019s producer Dan Carey and quickly began work on what would become their debut EP, \u201cSLICE\u201d.&nbsp;<em>\u201cDan had been to see us play a lot and he just wanted us to recreate the raw energy of being on stage in the studio,\u201d Joe says. \u201cIt\u2019s such a full, bassy sound and Dan simply allows us to play the music.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finding freedom in Carey\u2019s intuitive, analogue process, 2023\u2019s SLICE produced five tracks of propulsive instrumentals, from the endless crescendo of \u201cMoon\u201d to the synth pedal distortions of \u201cGrouchy\u201d and jump-up blasts of \u201cATM\u201d.&nbsp;<em>\u201cSlice is a snapshot of different sides of the band, it\u2019s a playful taster,\u201d<\/em>Tash says.&nbsp;<em>\u201cWhereas with the album, we\u2019re getting louder and more intense, experimenting with noise and our metal influences. It\u2019s a full, freeing force.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, \u201cWeirdOs\u201d is O. fully embracing all aspects of their newfound expression. Their songs are honed through sprawling, improvised jams but this isn\u2019t jazz \u2013&nbsp;instead, it\u2019s finely-crafted music channelling massive energy to make listeners feel everything from the moshpit chaos of an electronic drop to the languorous sway of dub dilations. With their first trip to the US completed for SXSW and plans for their largest UK tour to date currently taking form, O.\u2019s unstoppable live sound will soon be coming to a speaker stack or live stage near you.&nbsp;<em>\u201cIt\u2019s total freedom,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;Joe says.&nbsp;<em>\u201cTwo people taking every risk.\u201d&nbsp;<\/em>Listen and revel in the madness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/D36B52D0-7D16-4FB5-97E4-3343B5A1AD39.jpeg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/D36B52D0-7D16-4FB5-97E4-3343B5A1AD39.jpeg?resize=1024%2C1024\" alt=\"WeirdOs cover artwork\" class=\"wp-image-40515\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/D36B52D0-7D16-4FB5-97E4-3343B5A1AD39.jpeg?resize=1024%2C1024 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/D36B52D0-7D16-4FB5-97E4-3343B5A1AD39.jpeg?resize=300%2C300 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/D36B52D0-7D16-4FB5-97E4-3343B5A1AD39.jpeg?resize=150%2C150 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/D36B52D0-7D16-4FB5-97E4-3343B5A1AD39.jpeg?resize=768%2C768 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/D36B52D0-7D16-4FB5-97E4-3343B5A1AD39.jpeg?w=1200 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u2018WeirdOs\u2019 track list<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>1.
