{"product_id":"cusk-cusk","title":"Cusk - Cusk","description":"\u003cp\u003eCusk is the alt-rock group fronted by duo, Esmé Creed-Miles and Evie Hilyer-Ziegler. The pair met at an improvisation night at the Moth Club in 2023 and soon became close friends and collaborators, drawn together by a shared instinct for making music that is raw, exploratory, and emotionally direct.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheir process is intuitive. Songs begin as fragments: voice notes, poems and melodies caught in passing, with full songs taking shape through a process of playing together. Evie and Esmé's musical chemistry is characterized by their juxtaposing playing styles. In the space between Hilyer-Ziegler's precise, melodic string work, her sirenesque vocals and Creed-Miles’ slackened rhythm guitar and androgynous lyrics, there exists a spectrum of character and femininity. Their songwriting dances along this spectrum, playfully contrasting impulse and control, quiet intimacy and sudden intensity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCreed-Miles approached and enlisted Jorge Elbrecht (Sky Ferreira) to co-produce the first batch of demos. These sessions would come to form the bulk of their inaugural EP. Whilst further working with artist \/ producer \/ mix engineer, Thad Kopec, another session bore the anarchic, Brian Jonestown Massacre inspired track, Dooms Banjo.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bird Records","offers":[{"title":"Black 12\" EP","offer_id":51486439047446,"sku":"RMX-70560","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/CUSK_VINYL_PACKSHOT.png?v=1782894437","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/cusk-cusk","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
