News: NEAUX PREMIERES MUSIC VIDEO FOR “DEEP DIVE”

Brooklyn-based Neaux (which features Sierra Kay of VersaEmerge and Nick Fit of Trash Talk) have debuted a music video for “Deep Dive” today onNoisey.  The song appears on their new album, Fell Off The Deep End, which was released last week on Iron Pier.  Kay’s expressive vocal approach meets songs that give a nod to shoegaze and Sonic Youth in equal measure.  Joined by Ryan Briggs on bass (Have Heart) and Chris Peters on drums,Neaux is An alt-rock band rich in atmosphere and songcraft.

 

The members cut their teeth in diverse genres  - experimental, synth pop, straight-edge hardcore - but Fell Off The Deep End is a rewarding collision of worlds.  Take album opener “Slowstroll,” which announces itself immediately with both delicacy and heaviness; there’s a weighty crunch to the sound that recalls 90s grunge and alt-rock. Yet, Kay’s clear and expressive lead vocal ensures fans of Slowdive and PJ Harvey can find space in this music. Elsewhere, the young band ably conjures up druggy, droning balladry (“High Hopes”) and catchy post-punk (“Beaten Bruised and Over It”). The band’s hardcore background shows up, too, like when the pummeling “Somewhere Up North” kicks up the tempo several notches.

 

Far more than simply another one-off in a discography full of them, Fell Off The Deep End establishes Neaux as a band to look out for in 2016 and beyond.  Stay tuned for more news coming soon.
