Release Notes:
Here's what the press have had to say: UNCUT 4/5
'The most exciting thing to come out of Belfast
since Stiff Little Fingers'- Q 'A pleasingly sombre
treat'- NME 'If you're looking for a band with a
pulse Desert Hearts won't let you down. Exciting,
angry, dynamic noise with gently caustic lyrics and
some Pixies-esque rancour. Damn impressive'-
MUSICWEEK 'One of the tastiest cakes to land on MW's
plate for some time' (Hotsy)- ROCK SOUND 8/10 'One
of the finest acts to come out of Belfast in a long
long while. Investigate now!'- ALTERNATIVE ULSTER
5/5 'Hotsy Totsy Nagasaki is a devastating triumph
of a record'- HOTPRESS 8/10 'Hotsy Totsy is a little
beauty. Take it to your bosom, squeeze it tight. But
not too tight - it's got claws'- THE IRISH NEWS
'Desert Hearts have managed to reclaim Ireland in
the name of exciting, potential filled music'- GARY
LIGHTBODY, SNOW PATROL 'Desert Hearts are a great
Belfast band. They have the darkness of Joy Division
and the low-slung humour of Pavement'-
DROWNEDINSOUND.COM 'Recommended? You bet your arse
it is!' (Hotsy)- Hotsy is on heavy rotation at Radio
1 and tracks have been played by the likes of Steve
Lamacq, Huw Stephens, Phil Jupitus, Rory McConnell
and even Gary Lightbody on his recent stand-in slot
for Zane Lowe. The band have recently opened for
acts such as The White Stripes, Bloc Party, The
Breeders, The Hives, Snow Patrol (including their
now legendary sold out London Koko show) and Arab
Strap to name but a few......
