Kyu – ‘Sunny in Splodges’

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Kyu are a female duo from Sydney who are creating some pretty mind blowing sounds. “Sunny in Splodges” has a bit of everything – the whole song is just a constantly evolving layerfest of instrumentation that weaves in and out unexpectedly, but always purposefully.

The freeform vocal parts and the drum crescendo is reminiscent of Bjork’s tribal tendencies, but overall this has a much smokier, jazzier quality to it than Iceland’s favourite daughter. Outside the box, but accesible. Word is they kill it live as well.
