Wish Hounds – Avalanche

| Wish Hounds - Avalance |
Release Date: Out Now
There was very little information
accompanying this new release from Exeter lads Wish Hounds but the music did
enough talking. ‘Avalanche’ came out a while ago but it’s only just reached my
ears and it’s worth revisiting for a number of reasons. Firstly, there’s the
spiralised guitars that are pitched somewhere between the Cure and the Soup Dragons.
Secondly, the drum and bass combination come straight from the early 80s when
U2 were still on the way up and Simple Minds had stadiums swooning. Finally,
there’s the voice of front-man Kashi Gill who has the kind of assured, smooth
and silken voice that cuts through the swirl of guitars to make his point with
clarity and no small amount of style. Gorgeous stuff, providing 80s inspired
post-punk with a hint of romanticism about it….which I do.
