Named after the Japanese word for colourful autumn leaves, KOYO is also the name of a new group fusing colourful influences to create music of their own.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

KOYO<\/strong> formed in Leeds in 2015, and are Huw Edwards (lead vocals, guitar), Jacob Price (sampling, synthesisers), Seb Knee-Wright (guitars), Dan Comlay (bass) and Tom Higham (drums).<\/p>\n

Initially co-founded by Huw and Jacob, the pair gorged on \u201890s grunge and alt.rock (Huw: \u201cI loved the melodies and harmonies of Alice In Chains<\/em>\u201d), but also their parents\u2019 classic rock and prog-heavy record collections.<\/p>\n

Upon moving to Leeds, the duo\u2019s influences soon expanded to include electronica and post rock, ranging from Floating<\/strong> Points<\/strong> to Mogwai<\/strong>, via Brian<\/strong> Eno\u2019s<\/strong> landmark ambient albums. To cope with emulating the soundscape of such influences, the band sound expanded into the 5-piece of today.<\/p>\n

KOYO<\/strong>\u2019s debut album, tipped for release later in 2017, marries psychedelic and progressive rock with electronic soundscapes. While unafraid to borrow from the past, theirs is a wholly 21st<\/sup>-century sound, drawing on influences such as Tame<\/strong> Impala<\/strong>, Boards<\/strong> of Canada<\/strong> and Live At Pompeii-era Pink<\/strong> Floyd<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

First single Tetrochromat<\/em> further entwines the old with the new. Recorded in Foel Studio in Wales, the band seamlessly merges the sounds of My<\/strong> Bloody<\/strong> Valentine<\/strong> with Slowdive<\/strong> and Ride<\/strong>, whilst showing a catalogue of influences cited above.<\/p>\n

KOYO will be a name hot on the lips of 2017, and Tetrachromat<\/em> will be available March 31st<\/strong> in all the usual places. Keep an ear out for more new music as the year progresses.<\/p>\n
