O. – the London-based duo of baritone saxophonist Joseph Henwood and drummer Tash Keary – have announced details of the much anticipated debut EP, SLICE. Recorded live with Dan Carey at his London studio, the EP will be released via Speedy Wunderground on 24th November.

Coming hot on the heels of last November’s debut single “OGO” – SLICE is a four-track snapshot of the duo’s first two years of existence. The first taste of the EP comes in the form of its title track.

Full of pneumatic patterns of riff and rhythm that draw from the muscular viscerally of metal and the dancefloor dynamics of build and drop, the new single arrives as a “Slice” sax and drum workout underpinned by the duo’s knack for dancefloor summoning earworms.

Speaking on the track, Tash says: “We wrote ‘Slice’ as soon as we got back from our gig and week in Recife, Brazil. One of the things we loved about carnival was the amount of energy and buzz that goes into the music, and ‘Slice’ is us taking that approach with our own songs.”

The single is accompanied by a new animated video created by Yevheniia Vynokurova. Going on to speak about the video she says, “We met Yevheniia at a few gigs in Slovakia where she was doing visuals for the amazing Ukrainian roots project UA Tribal. From Kyiv but living in Barcelona, Yevheniia has a super unique and gnarly animation style which we felt worked really well with our music.”
