London’s Cusk have shared their much-anticipated debut single ‘Blu Tac Piano’, a haunting, evocative introduction to the group and one that has already become a live favourite in their early sets. It marks the second release from The Bird, a new tastemaker label from Charlie Wayne (Black Country, New Road) and Mita De (ex-Ninja Tune, ex-Brownswood).

Cusk is the alt-rock group fronted by duo Esmé Creed-Miles and Evie Hilyer-Ziegler. The pair met at an improvisation night at the Shacklewell Arms and soon became close friends and collaborators, drawn together by a shared instinct for making music that is raw, exploratory, and emotionally direct.
