Cusk Share New Single “Dooms Banjo”

Cusk returns with the emotive “Dooms banjo”, a direct and captivating song that suggests Cusk will continue on the same ascent that “Blu tac piano” has started them on. The band also announce their self-titled debut EP available both digitally and on limited vinyl formats (pre-order), landing August 14th, and a release show on August 27th at The Shacklewell Arms in East London with tickets on sale now.

This will be the band’s first ever headline show and will feature a full-band set-up.

Cusk is the alt-rock group fronted by duo Esmé Creed-Miles and Evie Hilyer-Ziegler. The pair met at an improvisation night at the Shacklewell Arms and soon became close friends and collaborators, drawn together by a shared instinct for making music that is raw, exploratory, and emotionally direct.

Since their first show a couple of years back at The Windmill, Brixton, the band have quickly become a presence on the London music scene. In that time, alongside select headline performances, they have supported the likes of DIIV, Geordie Greep and Tiberius B.

The upcoming Cusk EP will be the second extended play release, after Ninush’s “The Flowers I See You In”, on The Bird Records, the new tastemaker label from Charlie Wayne (Black Country, New Road) and Mita De (ex-Ninja Tune, ex-Brownswood).

Cusk live:

Aug 27th – The Shacklewell Arms, London
