Four Tries Down / It's A Mess (Vinyl)

Two new tracks from Malmos much-praised Hater. One of the best bands in the world Gorilla Vs Bear Hot on the heels of last years Siesta, their second studio album and first for Fire Records. Too noisy to be indie pop, too sweet to be post punk. Clash Its a compelling slice of angular pop music; dysfunctional, dreamy, tempting, and teasing. Four Tries Down presents an acute hand-tooled angular rasp, with its chiming guitar chopped out against a disengaged rhythm, topped with the dreamy ambience of Caroline Landahls whispered confessional that cuts through the mesmerising hum. Its A Mess is more subtle, with a teenage Nico admitting to inevitable boyfriend trouble. Drums rattle before cutting down to the basics to let Landahls pontificate as it all goes wrong its a beautiful mess. Beautiful. Nostalgic for 90s indie pop innocence. MOJO
