High-gloss indie rock with a soulful strut. Think stadium-sized hooks, funk-infused basslines, and a vocal range that leaps from gritty growls to soaring falsetto.
NEEDSHES sounds like the intersection of a neon-lit city street and a massive summer festival stage. It is music built on a foundation of classic rock craftsmanship but polished with a modern, cinematic sheen that makes every track feel like the climax of a film. The guitars are sharp and rhythmic, often leaning into funk-inspired grooves that demand movement, while the synthesizers provide a lush, atmospheric backdrop that keeps the sound from feeling too grounded.
What truly sets the project apart is the sheer versatility of Otabek Salamov's vision. You can hear the ghosts of his metalcore past in the intensity of his delivery, yet it is tempered by a sophisticated understanding of melody and arrangement. It is a balancing act between the moody, nocturnal vibes of modern indie and the unapologetic, fist-pumping energy of 2000s arena rock. The production is immaculate, favoring a hi-fi clarity that highlights the interplay between the tight rhythm section and the expressive vocal layers.
Start with the album 'Anything You Want' to hear the band at their most cohesive. It perfectly captures their ability to blend bluesy grit with pop-sensible hooks. If you are looking for something that feels both intimate and expansive, this is the gateway. It is music for people who want the emotional weight of a ballad but the kinetic energy of a dance floor.
