Official press release:
Fell Off The Deep End is the debut release by Neaux, the songwriting partnership of Sierra Kay (VersaEmerge) and Nick Fit (Trash Talk, Loss Leader), joined by Ryan Briggs and Chris Peters. This new album will be released September 16th on Iron Pier and the music video for the album’s first single “Make Me Stay” is premiering now on BrooklynVegan.
Neaux formed in Brooklyn, NY by coincidence and fate. Their partnership began with Kay and Fit’s previous groups appearing at the same festival. “[He was] some kid sidestage at all our shows,” reminisces Kay, and a musical and personal bond formed. They describe themselves as “old friends making new noise”, but what a potent noise – Kay’s expressive vocal approach meets songs that give a nod to shoegaze and Sonic Youth in equal measure.
The members cut their teeth in diverse genres – experimental, synth pop, straight-edge hardcore – but Fell Off The Deep End is a rewarding collision of worlds. Far more than simply another one-off in a discography full of them, this engaging 8-song release establishes Neaux as a band to look out for in 2016.
