Nice Nice |

|
Following their first ever UK shows in November, which saw them play alongside the likes of Battles, Flying Lotus, Broadcast and Wavves, as well as releasing their debut single ‘One Hit’, Nice Nice (Portland-based duo Jason Buehler & Mark Shirazi) return in 2010 with a new single and video.
'See Waves', taken from their forthcoming debut album 'Extra Wow' (due in April) will be released digitally and on 7inch on Feb 8th. A sprawling psychedelic monolith, the song introduces itself with an imposing frenetic rhythm before breaking apart into a glorious sonic kaleidoscope, and is backed with non-album track 'We Stayed'.
In addition, the band have also released a psychedelic video for ‘Everything Falling Apart’, a track from their forthcoming debut album, directed by Yoshi Sodeoka:

Early praise for Nice Nice:
“Terrifying psychedelic electrickery” – Time Out
“A compelling performance, incorporating elements of punk and krautrock into an experimental sound” – Independent (live review)
“When it really kicks off, it’s the aural equivalent of someone chucking a lit cigar into a fireworks factory.” – Artrocker (on ‘One Hit’)

To everyone that came to our events in Paris, Sheffield, New York, London, Tokyo and Berlin, that shelled out for the box set, other music releases and t-shirts, and those that took time to contribute to the voting site - again, a huge THANK YOU! It's not a year we will forget in a hurry and we couldn't have done it without you.
