Many bands promising uniqueness write a bum cheque.
Her’s, not only offer individuality, distinctiveness and originality, but an entire world brimming with fully realised characters and sounds.
Where romance fades, bromance remains and like a pair of matching monogrammed bathrobes hanging side-by-side, it’s rare to find a partnership so loveably kitsch and destined to belong together as Stephen and Audun.
Stories and characters emerge throughout the collection, revealing an off-kilter world of atmospheric slacker pop, instilled with voyeuristic humour.
A collection of all their early singles, and a few new tracks thrown in for good measure, Her’s channel the surreal and the sublime through a twist of tropical technicolour.
Each song its own little microcosm of oddness.
Intricately windy, bendy guitars are flung around a tight drum machine clatter to deliver a genuine indie classic.
