Raf and O are Raf Mantelli and O Richard Smith
Garnering widespread acclaim in the UK / Europe since 2008 release of their first 10” ‘Has The Air Gone Walking?’ in collaboration with Graham Dids Gagarin (Nico, Pere Ubu), their exciting shows highlight magnetic performances of their unique detailed avant-pop, a concoction of emotional journeys, time travel, surreal dreams. They supported Faust, Alabama 3, Larsen with Little Annie Bandez; recently performing at the Queen Elizabeth Hall for Richard Strange’s Burroughs celebration.
Launching their ‘Avant-bizarre’ interpretation of David Bowie’s Lady Grinning Soul, which pricked the ear of Mike Garson, Bowie’s long-standing pianist, he praised Raf and O’s minimal approach. Following a live BBC session they performed twice at the remake of the Beckenham Free Festival, originally organised by Bowie in 1969.“One of the more memorable events of the Beckenham Festival was Raf and O’s haunting performance of David Bowie’s Lady Grinning Soul” David Bowie Official.
2014 – Raf and O launch their new album ‘Time Machine’ at Shoreditch Church to wondrous press acclaim. Top 10 albums of 2014 picked by Joe Muggs on FACT Magazine. Reviewed in the Quietus by legendary journalist David Stubbs.“The excellent Time Machine represents the very antithesis of EDM …There is a butterfly, acoustic delicacy and yet also the deceptive, steel strength of spider silk in their complex weaving – Raf’s vocal ranges far and wide in her emotional and lyrical foragings…” David Stubbs, The Quietus
