THE HIT BACK

Chicago-based duo The Hit Back set up camp in the netherworld between heavy electronica and organic pop on their debut Who Are These Weird Old Kids. Recorded over the course of four months with some overseas help from notable Swedish musician and producer Lindefelt (Fredrik, The LK), Who Are These Weird Old Kids possesses an uncommon confidence for a first effort. Uncompromisingly sweet pop hooks brush against thick electronic textures, diverse instrumentation, and lean sonic landscapes reminiscent of Kings of Convenience's folk sensibilities and the soaring, somber palette of British Sea Power. The percussive assault on "Tagalong," sweeping piano ballad "And You're the Night," and electroclash-evocative "Me and the Kid" brilliantly demonstrate their sonic breadth. No microgenres, no niche approaches, just timeless and ornate music. Their solid first statement to the world is just the beginning for Jesse Hanabarger and Seth Weidmann. Keep an ear to the ground.
