On the Huh
Takeda - The ones to watch
On the Huh caught up with front man Josh Harrison backstage at the Waterfront after their soundcheck and ahead of a home town album launch show to celebrate the release of their new album In Venus train.
Thematically In Venus Train channels mystical figures from folk-lore and biblical metaphors, writing songs about obsession, love and grieving a past life. The album is a musically rich, at times intricate and thoughtful, at others explosive and intense journey through the bands blend of melancholic, organic folk and sprawling, fuzzy alternative -rock.
Drawing influence in equal measure from British Folk revivalists Fairport convention and alt-metal icons Tool, the album fuses melodic and emotional sensibility of folk with the noise and fuzzed guitar tones of grunge, ultimately making music that sounds something like if Nick drake joined Pile.
Pop over to the website (www.onthehuh.org) it has lots of links to other bands stuff and venues as well as a link to an ever evolving Spotify playlist of Norwich bands material compiled by pod producer Reuben Andrews called La musique de Norwich.
