live: Hugo & Zoe
beyond 8-bit pop-lofi-folk (voice, gameboy, ukulele)
Hugo & Zoe is band from Czech Republic playing on seemingly inconsistent instrument set, which gives the band unique genre sound. Gameboy gives the
rhythmical and bass structures beyond the common sentimental 8-bit sound. Ukulele gives playfulness to the sound which is completed in the poetry of
stories articulated in the female singer melodies. The music is sometimes melancholic but also catchy in the choruses and colourful as the harmonies are being freely appropriated from different styles such as latin, gipsy, klezmer, baroque, pop, etc.
“Bands like Hugo & Zoe have created something of a folk exploitation craze, where improvisation is more evident in the social context than in the
music.” Felix Kubin
