Release Date: Out Now
When I look down the list of
Hypophora’s ‘Artists We Also Like’ and it includes NARCS (RIP), Cousin Buzz,
Forever Cult, Allusondrugs and Patrons I can only surmise two things; they have
excellent taste and they really want a deal with Clue Records. Musical taste
aside, however, what can we glean from the Cornish quartet’s new single,
‘Headlines’? Well, they know how to rock hard but in an incredibly tight and
controlled manner akin to Biffy Clyro, Incubus, Reuben and anyone of the
aforementioned excellent peers. In Katie McConnell they have a frontwoman who
possesses power, grace, a fierce presence and no shortage of melody in a voice
that would rival Hayley Williams. Also, Hypophora are not afraid to mix it up,
take time out for a feedback solo or just explore a bit of a jazz in the middle
of an ambitious 4 minute single. Finally, we can deduce that their video budget
extended to a few fairy lights and a cameraman/woman with the shakes. So, give
them a stage (or a series of stages, like a tour) and a bigger video budget
then these guys have got the chops and the tunes to back it up. Blistering
stuff.
