Release Date: 11th November 2013
OK, it's prediction time. I'm
going to go out on an admittedly fairly sturdy limb to say that girl-boy
quartet Hella Better Dancer have a shot at reaching indie notoriety. I'm not
talking about headlining Glastonbury but definitely a 6Music session and maybe
an NME tour. On the basis of this single you see, these guys have got that
haunting indie sound that the XX and Foals have made so popular, they've got
the innocent swagger of bands like Best Coast and the luxurious vocals of a
Lana Del Ray. Put that altogether and indie purists everywhere will be falling
over their vinyl collections to catch a glimpse of these upstarts......reading
all that back sounds terribly dismissive but I actually do like 'Sleeptalking'.
My only concern would be that these guys have almost ticked too many musical
boxes and spread themselves too thinly. It's a tasty spread nonetheless.
