There’s a bumper crop of Hidden Shoal releases reviewed over at Norwegian music zine Luna Kafe this month: Ghost in the Water’s new single ‘Clean Sinks and Folded Laundry‘, Colour Kane’s album A Taste Of, and Tangled Star’s Our Man in Eden Hill EP. Pop along to Luna Kafe to check out the reviews in full, or visit the respective artists’ reviews sections for bitesize excerpts.
Excerpt: “I’m surprised that more people haven’t been talking about Toby Richardson. Take some of the bluesy aspects of Captain Beefheart and mix it with some ’90s college rock sensibilities and you’ve got the Toby Richardson sound. Fuzzed-out lo-fi classic rock is the order of the day, and Toby pulls off this slight ’60s pastiche with panache… By the time you reach the last song, it’s hard not to feel slightly overwhelmed as it is such an exaggerated sound, but that doesn’t mean that you won’t want to simply take a break, and start over again, as its exaggeration is laced with an addictive quality that will have you coming back for more.”
Toby Richardson’s absurdly genius new album Evergreen is featured on the music blog (deep breath) It’s Not The Band I Hate It’s Their Fans. Visit the site to read the feature/review in full, or pop along to Toby’s reviews section to read an excerpt.
The new video for Colour Kane’s ‘Broken‘ is featured on Rock Sellout, where their album A Taste Of is described as “absolutely beautiful”. Couldn’t have put it better myself. The video and album are both available through the HSR Store.
