The pair met at an improvisation night at the Moth Club in 2023 and soon became close friends and collaborators, drawn together by a shared instinct for making music that is raw, exploratory, and emotionally direct.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTheir process is intuitive. Songs begin as fragments: voice notes, poems and melodies caught in passing, with full songs taking shape through a process of playing together. Evie and Esmé's musical chemistry is characterized by their juxtaposing playing styles. In the space between Hilyer-Ziegler's precise, melodic string work, her sirenesque vocals and Creed-Miles’ slackened rhythm guitar and androgynous lyrics, there exists a spectrum of character and femininity. Their songwriting dances along this spectrum, playfully contrasting impulse and control, quiet intimacy and sudden intensity.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCreed-Miles approached and enlisted Jorge Elbrecht (Sky Ferreira) to co-produce the first batch of demos. These sessions would come to form the bulk of their inaugural EP. Whilst further working with artist \/ producer \/ mix engineer, Thad Kopec, another session bore the anarchic, Brian Jonestown Massacre inspired track, Dooms Banjo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince their first show in April 2024 at The Windmill, Brixton, Cusk have quickly become a presence on the London music scene, having also supported DIIV, Geordie Greep, and Tiberius B. They also completed a nationwide support tour with The Murder Capital.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Assai Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57866363011455,"sku":"TBR002","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1565\/5653\/files\/b5e8f59072884345a7dea20e84dc2b20.jpg?v=1782822901","url":"https:\/\/assai.co.uk\/products\/cusk-self-titled-12-vinyl-ep-due-out-14-08-26","provider":"Assai Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
