  2026: Underground Frequencies & Modern Nocturnes

  Adelino Valente

Herrera is known for his ambient guitar compositions and melancholic indie while Kehoe’s releases explore a world of harmonica kosmische and fuzzy electronic-rock. Listening to NO YOU, their new collaboration together, it’s clear the pair have found common ground. Bringing together Herrera’s songcraft with Kehoe’s knack for wild, haunting textures, NO YOU throws up a “big, small-studio sound” through 4-track tape fuzz, drum machine grooves, and a perfect bari-meets-tenor vocal pairing that works wonders across the album’s 10-tracks.
