Taranja Wu is on her next mission!
Guitar in one hand, attitude fully loaded in the other, she delivers her reckoning in punky, rattling guitar sounds, sawing synthesizers, relentlessly hammering beats, randomly captured extraterrestrial signals and unapologetic noise.
One woman, a few machines and a healthy disregard for playing it safe, driven by vocals that feel more like slogans: sharp enough to charm and to seduce the devil himself.
On September 4, her second album ALL MESSED UP drops: a trip through controlled crashes, an album like a beautiful mistake: sweet enough to draw you in, spicy enough to make you stay. Served with a dash of trash and a laugh that you never quite can figure out. Sounds uncomfortable? It is! But you sure want to dance to it like hell.
Taranja Wu has no intention of playing it quiet, so get ready to embrace the darkness and let Taranja Wu’s twisted universe consume your soul
(Voc, Guit, Synth) Elektro-Pop-Punk
The history of NAKED in ENGLISH CLASS
NAKED in ENGLISH CLASS are Olifr M. Guz and Taranja Wu. From 2015 to 2019 they produced and performed their music together. As the music they both wanted to hear didn't exist, they were forced to compose it themselves. It's all about madness, bees, rockets, cars and our everyday mistakes. Their two voices sound like ABBA lost in hell, accompanied by Bo Diddley on a rusty synthesizer. NiEC have produced five albums and their last one was released in January 2021.
Recently, GUZ has been following the activities of NiEC from afar on the hunt for space debris. On clear evenings you can see his star blinking wildly and sparkling brightly. On their last album NAKED in ENGLISH CLASS, Olifr M. Guz and Taranja Wu can be heard together as producers and performers for the last time, but NAKED in ENGLISH CLASS are and will remain Olifr M. Guz and Taranja Wu.
