Nice Nice - One Hit

by Dave on Tue, 2009/11/10 - 8:27pm

Nice Nice are currently giving away downloads of their new EP, before its physical release on 26 November.

It’s a fantastic single. The A-side ‘One Hit’ sounds like a kind of amped up electro psych Black Sabbath- all crunchy guitars, Ozzy style harmonies and sound explosions. When it really kicks off, it’s the aural equivalent of someone chucking a lit cigar into a fireworks factory.

B-side ‘Ark drum’ is a more sedate affair, with a mellow tribal feel. Sounds like Sting is in there somewhere playing the panpipes.

Jason Buehler, one half of Nice Nice said this of the recordings "We really wanted to capture/reflect what we do live. We focused on trying to convey elements that we think have generally characterized our live show: high energy explosiveness, bright colorful textures, lots of rhythm, large dynamic movement, willingness to explore new directions."

If that’s the case, be sure to check them out on their imminent trip to Europe. The Portland Mercury Paper has described them as "The best live band in the world" so definitely worth a look!
