Bespin Share New Video, Single, EP Release Date and Tour
Today Auckland’s shoe-psychgaze band Bespin release their debut video for their second single, Take Control. The track was recorded in a hidden Grey Lynn attic in the home of main guy Jonathan Lee (Cut Off Your Hands). The band also features members of The DHDFD’s (Joel Beeby) and Tiny Ruins (Alex Freer).
Bespin are nominated for the Critics Choice Award in New Zealand (see Noisy profile here), and have also played St Jerome’s Laneway Festival, Camp A Low Hum and The Others Way Festival.
Bespin are also releasing their debut EP Osiris next Friday on 30th October, via Flying Out. Featuring five tracks, the EP is a woozy fuzz Gigantor, careering out of control down an 8-bit space age freeway – much like their debut video – animated and directed by Paul Roper.
To celebrate the release of the Osiris EP Bespin are also on tour through New Zealand in November/December:
THUS – 12th November – Kings Arms – Auckland
FRI – 11th December – Meow – Wellington
THU – 17th December – Darkroom – Christchurch
FRI 18th December – Chicks Hotel – Dunedin
The swirling track follows on from debut single ‘Osiris’ the group unveiled back in January, bringing forth the same full-force psychedelic shoegaze to knock your socks off. – Under The Radar
It blisters, glistens, throbs and screams all things that are good – Cheese On Toast
