AUGUST is a new London-based project, matching noisy synths against some glacial songwriting.
Clashing sounds that find nimble, emotive resolution, the project is the work of Steve Hughes and Ed Carlile.
Still fresh, new cut 'Sword' finds AUGUST staking out their territory. The sighing vocals are matched against brutalist electronics, akin to LCD Soundsystem with some Beach House mixed in.
August explain: “'Sword' is a dark love song, a plea for desire no matter what the personal consequences. It was written from a chaotic place where nothing seemed to be going right, but it has shreds of hope in it too, that the chaos doesn't matter if you can hold on to that person.”
