NEØV is a Finnish indie rock band which has released two studio albums and performed in numerous countries. Band’s first album Orange Morning was released in February 2013 and the second album Dominique in February 2015.
NEØV is led by two brothers, songwriter and producer Anssi Neuvonen and drummer Samuli Neuvonen. In addition, the band consists of Ari Autio, Jonas Ursin and Antti Hevosmaa. Every member of the band is known for being a multi-instrumentalist.
NEØV’s music has been characterized as atmospheric indie rock, being expansive and intimate at the same time. The band has received praise especially for their songwriting, melodies and multi-faceted instrumentations, which are often formed by intensive rhythms, layered guitars, dozed keyboards, delicate vocals and horns.
Brothers Anssi and Samuli Neuvonen grew up in Juankoski, Eastern Finland. They started to make music together in their childhood. After moving to Kuopio, Eastern Finland they formed a band Neufvoin with Ari Autio, Jonas Ursin and Aaro Sariola. Neufvoin performed live for the first time as a warm up act for Finnish indie rock band Rubik in January 2008. The first studio releases of Neufvoin, Robokop EP (2009) and Fake Musket EP (2010) got positive reviews and went sold out. The biggest Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat, radio station YleX and music magazine Rumba listed the band among the most promising Finnish artists. In spring 2011 Neufvoin performed at SPOT Festival in Denmark.
