Hater – First Time

admin — Mon, 04 Jul 2016 12:10:21 +0000

Ooozing wistful charm and care free vibes, but far from simplistic, Hater have blended together joyful melodies and nodding pop with sober impulses. At times eerie, at times enrapturing, the Swedish quartet channel contemporaries such as Alvvays, The Radio Dept. and Melody’s Echo Chamber but wrap their indie pop in hazier fuzz that tiptoes the line between reflection and urgency. Introducing themselves to the world earlier this year with First Time, they release debut EP Radius on PNKSLM on July 8^th, and with it will no doubt garner a whole lot of love.

Ligers – Break You

Side A of AA single Break You / Goodbye this is a catchy and convivial sounding tune, one that you realise is deceptively upbeat when you listen closely to the horribly accurate lyrics speaking of lovers who are liars. Liz Stott (the band were formally known as Liz & The Lifers) has a very distinctive vocal style, shifting and authentic. The band have a self confessed love of sixties psychedelic bands and nineties Britpop, and in this song have brandished their influences via their own style.
For reference – a liger is the result of a randy lion getting friendly with a nearby tiger.
