Indie rock quintet NO releases What's
Your Name / Eleven Eleven 7" today on White Iris (Best Coast, FIDLAR, Guards, Fool's Gold). Outstanding vocals paired with a sound full of meaning and purpose,
these tracks hit home and stay with you. Dubbing themselves "Post-Hymnal
Anthematic," their sound stems from the desire to collectively sing and yell while
driving others to do the same.
'What's Your Name', the A-Side on this release, is a
beautifully ethereal track that offers a modern twist on the classic New Wave sound. As
subtle as the whistles during the bridge, there is something behind the
dark fuzzed-out guitars on this track that gives it an uplifting feel. This
blending of tones makes for a truly unique song that is nothing if not
infectious. 'Eleven Eleven' presents the counterbalance to 'What's Your Name'.
With dark synths and commanding vocals featured prominently on
this track, it almost calls to mind Interpol in their prime without
losing NO's signature sound.
NO began in Echo Park as a home recording project in
July 2011. In a small house on Mohawk Street a group of friends began building
something to represent their collective ethos of searching for the more
authentic elements in music and in themselves. The band will be touring this
fall including a date with Best Coast at the Santa Monica Pier before hitting the
road supporting Electric Guest this October. Full list of tour dates are
