His Hideous Heart - Only The Earth Can Make A Tree

Opener Only the Earth Can Make A Tree floats along quite serenely, comparatively to a child's lullaby and invites the listener into the delicate world of His Hideous Heart. This record tends to meander through indie pop stylings to dreamy soundscapes all with pertinent ease. It makes the experience pleasurable.

The strong song writing continues with Dancing in the Wind with some ear catching basslines and fast paced drumming. Something happens next - you're transfered to the next song This is Fullerton - a fun, galloping tune that begs for your legs to bounce up and down - and why not? The lead guitar is brought to the forefront to drive the song till subtle strings can be heard adding texture to the simple yet deceivingly complex song.

Ok so what i like about this album is they have succesffuly channeled the season of Spring to me. Weird i know, but all i hear in music these days is summer and winter. ffs where is my spring?? Well here it is - take a listen and see everything bloom.
