Hebronix is a solo project of
Daniel Blumberg, a prolific British musician best known as a member of indie rockers
Yuck, but active in several other projects since the mid-2000s. First appearing with the hazy, experimental psych-pop album
Unreal in 2013, the project resurfaced in 2018 with
Liv, a much darker, more dissonant full-length recorded several years earlier.
Having parted ways with London-based band
Yuck in early 2013,
Blumberg wasted little time in announcing his new solo project,
Hebronix. While
Yuck traveled to New York to record their second album -- with
Max Bloom on lead vocals in his longtime musical partner's stead -- London-born
Blumberg put the finishing touches to
Unreal. The album was produced by
Neil Hagerty of
Royal Trux and first introduced to fans via the dreamy, college rock sound of its title track. At the end of April,
Hebronix embarked on a U.K. tour with
Low in preparation for the summer release of
Unreal through ATP Recordings.
Blumberg kept busy with other projects over the next few years, releasing
Minus, his first effort under his own name, on Mute in 2018. Later in the year, the same label released
Liv, a previously unreleased album recorded over three days during 2014. Featuring guest musicians Kohhei Matsuda (monosynth), Billy Steiger (violin), and
Tom Wheatley (double bass), the album was credited to both
Blumberg and
Hebronix and given a limited vinyl release in late 2018, with a full release following in March of 2019. ~ Daniel Clancy & Paul Simpson
