Dublin-based ethereal pop duo Hvmmingbyrd have shared ‘Gozo’, their first new music in nearly a year. Ahead of a string of Irish dates starting this month, Deborah Byrne and Suzette Das’ latest outing is a warm, R&B-tinted slice of soulful pop. With vocal harmonies and delicate rhythms invoking the likes of fellow Dublin act Saint Sister but with their own electronic flavours giving it a life that is entirely its own, ‘Gozo’ is a step in the right direction for the duo and one that is making us eager to hear more.

Counting Cocteau Twins, Portishead, Wilson Phillips, Lorde and the Staves amongst their key influences Kildare/Dublin duo Deborah Byrne and Suzette Das AKA Hvmmingbyrd originally started out as a folk-based quintet back in 2013. The confident culmination of their steady and steadily impressive evolution to a self-described “harmonic alt-pop duo”, their new EP, Know My Name, is a polished, hook-laden affair that sees the duo’s weaving vocal interplay dance above carefully-composed, FM-friendly electronic pop passages. Where it’s occasionally a shortcoming for certain acts of their ilk, Byrne and Das ensure simplicity and melodic linearity are at the root of each track on offer here.
