Even as the buzz around them is slowly but steadily reaching fever pitch, the Manchester based trio No Ceremony/// maintain a deliberate air of mystery, an impenetrable sense of enigma which engulfs them as surely as their lush, lysergic electronic soundscapes envelop the listener.
Now, having emerged as one of the acts to watch at SXSW, and embarked on a US tour with acclaimed art pop outfit New Build, No Ceremony/// are getting ready to release their debut single.
'Hurtlove' will be the first on their own label NOC///: A beautiful, haunting swirl of emotive piano chords, pounding beats and snatches of strangely mechanized, heartbroken vocals, sounding like a post-rave anthem gone sclerotic with sadness. It epitomizes exactly what No Ceremony/// do best, which is situating a beating heard in amidst the shiny electronica; the sorrowful ghost inside the machine.
No Ceremony///'s debut album is due later in the summer, with more live UK dates to be announced shortly.
'Hurtlove' is released on May 19.
