Hind Ear - Rainman (Villeneuve remix) To be honest, I've been sitting here trying to think of something to write about this track for the last 30 minutes now and I really can't figure out anything to say. It's not because the song is too simple, but rather because its so complex. Good music isn't like a cell phone, where you can just read off a list of specs and have a pretty good idea what the cell phone is going to be like. So I could tell you about the pulsing beat and the tribal rhythms that [...]
After Esben & The Witch finished their set at the historical and somewhat creepy (in this context, at least) Brighton Pavilion Theatre on Tuesday night, Brighton was engulfed in an intimidating yet perfectly appropriated cloud of mist. It was as if the tribal, dark, ceremonial music Esben & The Witch had been playing had in some way called for it from the skies above; its vast and evocative nature having just far out-done any of the in-itself quite scary recorded material Esben & The Witch currently have under their belts. The Brightonian three-piece, recently named as part of BBC's highly [...]

Hind Ear : Rain Man ( Villeneuve Remix) - MP3 Première Fraîchement débarqués de Brighton, les quatre membres de Hind Ear livrent une musique multi-couche inspirée par différents courants qui rend leur style frais et difficile à classer, ni vraiment rock (ou post-rock), ni vraiment électro. Juste Hind Ear . Le band vient de signer chez Maman Records et s'apprête à sortir le 13 décembre, Rain Man , son tout premier [...]
One of the pro's of writing a music blog is that you get sent a lot of music. A LOT of music. Sometimes it's hard to keep on top of it all but here at JPP a team of dedicated ears are always on alert. The blurb that accompanies said music is often very amusing: "It's a bit like Nigella Lawson having an egg mask facial with Fugazi ". That type of thing. We recently received a communication from Hind Ear with these words: 'They are influenced by post- filesharing [...]
If the bloodied guts of your iPod can't whisk you away to faraway lands, inhabited by extraneous sounds and misplaced odours, your playlists probably need a rather extensive overhaul. Hind Ear , an experimental quartet from London via Brighton are one of those acts that transpose the howling winds on those pebbly south coast shores onto hallucinogenic shards of organic instrumentation that recall Caribbean calypso, Caribou and enough fruitful eccentricity to power a day's worth of Dot to Dot. As Origami floods through your ears like an erupting fire hydrant, kaleidoscopic spurts of technicolour guitar swathes lap into each [...]
If you've heard their hard-shelled and hymnal Coconut, then you'll know this is a band for all of your ears, not just that tiny, magic one hidden round the back. Head honcho Seb Franklin sent us this awesome Halloween-inspired jam and answered our trio of questions.
Words by Cara Bermingham I actually got to the Freebutt early for once but we were enjoying the music in the bar upstairs so much (Black Sabbath) that I only got to catch approximately 45 seconds of the first band Esben and the Witch, but do you know what, it was pretty good actually! They had an owl and a lamppost on stage with them and the audience were really enjoying it. Not normally a first-band-on kind of atmosphere, so it looks like they already have a fair few followers and I will make a point of seeing [...]
