Release Notes:
Like Franz Ferdinand, Hatcham Social take their musical cues
from the delicious, delirious guitar-pop of early 1980s
Scottish artists such as Orange Juice, Josef K and Aztec
Camera. Here, they preview tracks from their imminent debut
album You Dig the Tunnel, I'll Hide the Soil, and songs such
as Sidewalk and Superman unfold in a seeming state of high
anxiety, as if their impossibly urgent guitars are attempting
to scratch some deep-felt existential itch.
Singer Toby Kidd cuts an aloof and awkward figure, frequently
turning his back on the crowd, but Hatcham Social's power lies
in their kinetic, propulsive songs. Former Klaxons drummer
Finn Kidd is magnificent on So So Happy Making, a song that
appears to be mainlining pure adrenaline, while imminent
single Murder in the Dark recalls the knowing, vulnerable
poetry of the Smiths. If Hatcham Social are to become more
than mere music-press darlings, this may be the song that does
it.
