:: PRIMAVERA SOUND 2010 ::
Ui - Digame + live video from 2000 Knitting Factory performance
Ui (pronounced ooo eee) is a band from New York headed by Sasha Frere-Jones and Clem Waldmann. 2 bass guitars, drums, digital sampling. No vocals. Very tight. They have a jazzy post-rock sound with instances that remind me of Fugazi’s jazzier instrumental moments. Maybe it is just me. It probably has something to do with bass guitars. That being said, they are NOT like Fugazi in so many ways.
Their last album, Answers, was released in 2003 so I was a bit surprised (pleasantly) to see they were in the Primavera Sound 2010 line-up. Maybe they are releasing a new album?
