One of the good things I will remember about this summer is the great music I stambled upon. A whole bunch of new interesting bands and music, filled my "basket". One of the bands I came across was the swedish pop-punk band The High Hats. Thing is that I dont like giving stamps and genrerize bands about the music they're playing, and I believe this comes to the surface even more with the High Hats' new release, And then came Cancer.
The first taste of the album was a rather catchy teaser single Lou Reed (perhaps someone in the band is a fan of drugabusive Velvet Underground). But to the point. Comparing to their two previous releases, And Then Came Cancer gives the right dose of feeling in each song.The whole album has an excellent equilibrium. We are talking about a 12 track long 2side release that has it all.. Do you want a true Saturday uplifting song that can go on repeat all night long? Listen to Television, or Heartbeaten by the Police..Or, neee just listen trough the A-side. ( Which BY THE WAY has my absolute autumn favourite song, Drillher Killher, boy that beat in combination with the vocals scream desperation, addiction, melancholy. A bittersweet feeling...) Do you want to sack down into your loneliness and just embrasse the darkness of a true depression? Ryssby is something for you.
I can't say that this album has a true innovative sound, but it sure has something that new releases lack these days, sincereness and creativity.
I wanted to give you a taste, but it was tough to just pick one song. So, I picked Purple Hearts. (a song that reminds me pretty much of that 70s desert police movies..a little retro, a little desert in sepia, sexy men in Camaros and ladies with a bosson to kill for...)
