Over the past few months, Sydney's experimentally-inclined girl-pop duo, Kyü, have been making quite an impact in both the real and cyber-world. The ladies, Alyx and Freya, propel harmonious and lush, ethereal noise that has kindled muchos love from a wide-range of sources: Big-time blog and radio love, winning the Sydney University Band Competition last Thursday night and being selected to play at the seminal This Is Not Art Festival held in Newcastle in October.

I spoke to the two ladies on The Bridge last Wednesday evening (before they conquered the Sydney University Band Comp) and was dazzled by their music, which they have described as "a tea party with Beethoven, Bowie, Bjork and a Banshee". Sounds pretty ridiculous doesn't it? Well, have a listen to their tracks below and make up your own mind. Sunny in Splodges appeared on the inaugural New Weird Australia compilation (put together by FBi's own Stuart Buchanan and Danny Jumpertz) and Pixiphony was recorded specifically for The Bridge! See em this Friday at SerialSpace supporting the indie jamtastic Japanese group Tenniscoats. PS. Bring your own pot of tea! --- LL
