Overview:
Club Kuru are a British five-piece psych-rock band, fronted by Laurie Erskine. Following last year's widely acclaimed EP/single releases, which saw them secure notable support from BBC 6Music and BBC Radio 1, Club Kuru release their debut LP 'Giving In’. Scheduled for release on 23rd March 2018, the album features the singles 'You Want It Bad', 'Giving In' , 'The Memory Junkie’ and forthcoming single ‘I’m Still A Man’. The album reached completion in early 2017, but the studio the band had worked so hard to build was demolished and left them without a place to work. Building the studio together was an important process for the band; they toiled over it with their own hands, effectively becoming makeshift carpenters and electricians in the process. The rest of last year was spent building a replacement studio and now the record is ready to see the light of day. Reminiscent of contemporaries and infuences Connan Mockasin, Tame Impala and Mac DeMarco, the band share inspiration from classic greats such as Shuggie Otis, Vangelis, Herbie Hancock and Quincy Jones. You will often hear Steely Dan and The Beach Boys humming from within the studio walls. They even use and have studied recording techniques from a bygone era, solely using analogue synthesisers. Ultimately, the sound is unique - it is the product of the band's bare hands, put together in the space they worked tirelessly to perfect. Using only those mics, those instruments, those particular players; it is entirely their own.
