UTO‘s new EP The Night’s Due is out March 8 on Paris-based label Pain Surprises.

The two members of UTO, Emile and Neysa, share the same music studio and bed. This Parisian duo, that we discovered with “The Beast” and “That Itch“, will release their sophomore EP in a few weeks. Taken from this new project, their song “Synthesise” sums up pretty well their trippy vision of indie pop.

Unlike their tempestuous previous singles, “Synthesise” explores a smoother side of psychedelia. Driven by the soft tinkling of crystal-clear vocal chops, this eerie new offering soaks up the fresh and light fragrance of spring rain. Listen below.

Watch UTO’s stormy video for “That Itch”

French trip-hop, dark pop duo UTO have shared an intense video for “That Itch”. If you’re a storm chaser, you will remain speechless.

UTO is the French duo comprised of Émile & Neysa May who were recently signed to PAIN SURPRISES RECORDS, music home of Jacques. They already caught our attention some months ago with the release of “The Beast” which was opening their freshly released “Shelter For The Broken” EP. They have now shared new self-directed visuals for another track: “That Itch”. For this one, they compiled astonishing images of storms and the result is just as intense as you can imagine. The video perfectly depicts the darkness and the electric atmospheres that UTO are able to create with their music.

Listen to UTO’s animal-pop single “The Beast” and its brand new MYD’s remix

Arnaud Marty — Thu, 16 Nov 2017 20:59:01 +0000

New signees to Pain Surprises Records, French duo UTO shared earlier this year a twisted and animal single: ‘The Beast’. There’s now a new remix signed by Myd out there!

UTO is a duo in the studios but also in the real life. Emile and Neysa were signed to Pain Surprises, home of Jacques, and their music definitely found the right hosts as it is creative and difficult to pin down. “The Beast” is a different, fetishist, and addictive offering. It also comes with a video which was directed by a mysterious guy.

“The Beast” is featured on UTO‘s debut EP “Shelter For The Broken” which was released on October 10 via Pain Surprises.

Yesterday, a remix signed by another Frenchy, Myd, was released and you can listen to it below.
