Belfast duo, Hiva Oa, have now announced the date for their forthcoming EP, mk2 (part 1). It comes out Friday, September 16, and core members, Stephen Houlihan and Christine Tubridy, left Edinburgh and returned to their native home, Ireland, to begin the process of putting it together in earnest. This goes some way to evoking a certain rural bleakness.
There is more to the project than the aforementioned musical coupling, though. Additional studio and live members consist of Matthew Collings and Daithi McNabb. The band are described as a mix of electronica and minimal guitar, marrying both synthetic and live instrumentation.
