Joe Bedell-Brill and Georgie Hoare are 0171. The band, from Hackney, East London, create their own world with a roughness that feels honest, intense and intimate. Textured tracks build up layer by layer, shifting from live piano to distorted synthesisers, drifting samples to heavy bass.
“We like to sing about nostalgia, looking back at your life, memory, and how that shifts and changes,” say Georgie and Joe. “We’re building memories upon memories, storing them, and then forgetting about them. Like the pile of old phones you have in your parents house. Or all the stuff you’ve made, which you record on hard drives but leave in a room. There are all these forgotten fragments that were once part of who you were. We try to put those things at the centre of our music.”
