Hobbes Fanclub at Hipersonica

Qué tiene de bueno: Pese a que The Hobbes Fanclub acuden un repertorio sonoro más que conocido, en Up At Langrage (Shelflife, 2014) hay canciones que, por más repetitivas que puedan sonar de buenas a primeras, siempre se revelan como estupendas acompañantes. Un disco sencillo, poco complicado, tanto para ellos como para nosotros, que opta… Continue reading Hobbes Fanclub at Hipersonica

Hobbes Fanclub at Indie Nauta

Os lo comentamos fugazmente en nuestra crónica del pasado Indietracks, pero hoy volvemos a insistir, por si todavía os queda un hueco en vuestras listas de lo mejor del año. Provenientes de la ciudad de Bradford, al norte de Inglaterra, The Hobbes Fanclub comenzó en 2008 como el proyecto en solitario del cantante y guitarrista… Continue reading Hobbes Fanclub at Indie Nauta

Hobbes Fanclub at Louder Than War

71. The Hobbes Fanclub – Up at Lagrange (Self-Released) Up At Lagrange was The Hobbes Fanclub’s (who we wrote about first in 2012) highly anticipated debut album. Catchy girl-boy vocals, wispy C86 jangles, lush distortion and overdriven guitars are this albums modus-operandi. Sarah Lay says of The Hobbes Fanclub: “Sepia-tinted indie pop; lo-fi reverb vocals, a background fuzz and… Continue reading Hobbes Fanclub at Louder Than War

Hobbes Fanclub at Big Takeover (print)

The moniker of this coed Bradford, England trio’s album may insinuate something like vintage ZZ Top, but that’s light years off course. HFC bowed in 2012 with the outstanding “Your Doubting Heart” single, aesthetically fulfilling the promise of by-gone no-hit wonders from their home turf’s C86 indie scene 25 years ago. Up follows suit with… Continue reading Hobbes Fanclub at Big Takeover (print)

Hobbes Fanclub at The Tipping Point

‘Stay Gold’ is the second song from the long overdue debut LP from The Hobbes Fanclub ‘Up At Lagrange’, and it’s accompanying video is perhaps a perfect companion for this Bradford trio’s sound. The video is grainy, hand held holiday footage the band took in Paris, and has that perfect home movie sense of nostalgia, familiarity and a warm fuzzy… Continue reading Hobbes Fanclub at The Tipping Point

Hobbes Fanclub at So Said K

It was six years in the making, but The Hobbes Fanclub‘s debut LP, Up At Lagrange, is finally here. I’m going to have to agree with everyone else, too – it was worth the wait. I remember hearing “Your Doubting Heart” for the first time. It must have been just prior to my NYC Popfest 2013 weekend, where I… Continue reading Hobbes Fanclub at So Said K

Hobbes Fanclub at RW/FF

The Bradford-based trio The Hobbes Fanclub conjure up a dreamy, reverb-dipped and melodic sound on their debut album ‘Up At Lagrange’, which harks back to the restrained production values and style of late 80s/early 90s shoegaze pop. The delicate haze and plaintive vocals of ‘Into The Night’ create a wonderful opening and is followed by the highlight… Continue reading Hobbes Fanclub at RW/FF
