NOW catchy, contemporary, inventive, exotic, melodious, harmonious and disharmonious 21st century pop music. Founded in 1998 with the aim to bring together adventurous multi-instrumentalists who are as much in love with old synthesizers and drum machines as they are with guitars, percussion and traditional string instruments to play experimental pop. NOW have contributed exclusive tracks to many compilations and collaborated with underground musicians such as ex-Can singer Damo Suzuki (a joint album was released in 2007, receiving praise from The Wire magazine), Charles Hayward (This Heat) and Kaori Tsuchida (The Go! Team).
They have also attracted support slots with bands such as Faust, Circle, Tunng, Psapp, Rothko, Plaid and A Hawk And A Hacksaw and in February 2009 The Stooges’ Mike Watt dedicated an entire radio show to their music.

"Pursuing their offbeat, off-kilter and occasionally off-the-wall mashup of lo-fidelity experimental pop music and uptempo kosmik grooves at the fringes of undergound and overground success, NOW continue to demonstrate the tireless heart of their being is something close to an unsung national treasure."
