Ugly
Introducing alt-rock powerhouse UGLY. The group have become renowned amongst peers for their shape shifting sound that blends experimental post-rock with swelling choral textures. The track featured here was produced at Church Studios by Balázs Altsach, assistant to Paul Epworth who has worked on music for The Last Dinner Party, Wet Leg & Blur.
Hailing from Cambridge and its surrounding areas, UGLY originally evolved through the band’s choral background. Glimmers of its influence can be heard throughout their catalogue - instantly gripping infectious melodies, explosive dynamic changes and rich, intricate harmonies.
At time of writing the band have just wrapped a UK tour with Black Country, New Road no less. There aren't many bands that hail from a choral background - and that alone makes them a band to check out at Deer Shed for sure.
