Description
A winning blend of careful precision and mercurial abandon, Kane Strangs new album Two Hearts And No Brain is constantly surprising. With a penchant for melodic earworms to rival those of the worlds best pop songwriters, the New Zealand artists glittering hooks twist and turn in perfect synch with meticulous band arrangements.
Hints of 60s pop (Zombies, Stooges) and early 00s alt-rock (Interpol, Elliott Smith) shine through but theres a contemporary crunch, sheen and bald lyrical tone to Strangs sound that places him firmly in the here and now.
Strang has a gift for pulling diamonds from the rough, says Pitchfork, [his] songs have a way of making modest acts seem heroic.
Two Hearts And No Brain proves emotive and playfully laced with a tongue-in-cheek nostalgia timelessly old and new in the same breath.
Hailed as the next Stephen Malkmus by The Revue, Strangs on the brink of becoming indie rocks intelligent poster boy.
Coloured vinyl LP format available to independent retailers.
