Auckland's shoe-psychgaze band Bespin release their
debut video for their second single, Take Control. The track was
recorded in a hidden Grey Lynn attic in the home of main guy Jonathan Lee
(Cut Off Your Hands).
The band also features members of The DHDFD's (Joel Beeby) and Tiny Ruins (Alex
Freer).
Bespin are nominated for the Critics
Choice Award in New Zealand (see Noisy profile here),
and have also played St Jerome's
Laneway Festival, Camp
A Low Hum and The
Others Way Festival.
Bespin are also releasing their debut EP Osiris next Friday on 30th
October, via Flying Out. Featuring five tracks, the EP is a woozy fuzz Gigantor, careering
out of control down an 8-bit space age freeway - much like their
debut video - animated and directed by Paul Roper.
