Compilation albums of various artists who all happen to plough their trade in a particular locale are even more difficult to love. That is unless they are a compilation of various artists from the thriving, [...]
O Black Black Hills é um quarteto de Brighton, Inglaterra, que não tem vergonha de fazer canções indie-pop tão sombrias quanto o seu nome afirma, misturando percussões felizes e sintetizadores fortes com órgãos sombrios e vocais profundos tirados dos blues que parecem contar uma história de terror.

Words: Saam Das You may well recognise the above photo from our recent post about the brilliant Pope Joan single , 'The Celebration'. Well, they've only gone and changed their name to Black Black Hills . A wise decision? A foolish one? I don't think we can say just yet. Of course, we have some personal experience of changing names having emerged to the world as Keep Hope Inside in 2006 before adopting the [...]
