UREDDA (IT/UK, members of Coil/ZU/Spiritualized)

Uredda is a new band featuring members of Coil, Spiritualized, and ZU. In Brno, they will present their debut album, released via the label House of Mythology (home to acts such as Ulver, ZU, and Current 93).

Far from being merely an experimental project by Thighpaulsandra (Coil, Spiritualized), this is a full-fledged five-piece band. The rhythm section of ZU—Massimo Pupillo on bass and Paolo Mongardi on drums—is joined by Bruno Germano on guitar and synthesizers (a producer and musician known for his work with the Italian avant-pop band Iosonouncane) and MariaGiulia Degli Amori on vocals and percussion (who also performs with Daniela Pes and Iosonouncane).

The band weaves these various worlds together into a fresh, distinctive sound. It carries echoes of post-punk and new wave—reminiscent of Bowie—complemented by Thighpaulsandra’s unmistakable "British" vocal style and synthesizers. The result is a sound that bridges the gap between Japan/Rain Tree Crow and This Heat/Factory Records, seasoned with progressive elements and propelled by electronics toward the year 2026.
