Nick Hudson's queer dystopian post-punk band has been active in various incarnations since 2012. TAOS has collaborated with Massive Attack's Shara Nelson, members of NYC's Kayo Dot, Asva, Matthew Seligman (Bowie, Tori Amos, Morrissey) earning acclaim from The Quietus, Mojo and BBC 6Music, for their mesmerizingly intense, cinematic performances. 
 Nick, solo, in 2015 played at legendary NYC venue The Stone and in 2016 embarked on a two month tour of Europe and The Middle East with Toby Driver and Keith Abrams from Kayo Dot. Currently a four piece, in November 2017, The Academy Of Sun released Codex Novena', a hypnotic opus that found its way onto both the Dangerous Minds and Sweeping The Nation end-of-year lists. 
 Their new record - the fittingly dystopian The Quiet Earth is due out 19th June. A double album recorded over two years; vast in breadth and rich with sonic experimentation.
