Hatchie

I kind of like it but also kind of think it goes into that Sixpence None the Richer song at the end

Even *more* Cocteau Twins-ish in the bass dept, I'm thinking.

I had to google who he even is (I guess I haven't ever heard of The Creases before?). This is v good, though.

he's hatchie's main guitarist/keyboardist & boyfriend, but yes he's formerly of the creases who are honestly not really worth knowing about. i saw them live once as an opening act and they were very forgettable

I listened to the one album that's on Spotify. It was perfectly ok, but probably once was enough.

I feel like these guys use the perfect shoegaze guitar / bass settings for me. Just the right mix of Cocteau Twins, Lush and Slowdive (with a bit of Sundays mixed in). And live they sound even better. I'm taking about Hatchie/Joe A.

Perfect new single

Pushing all those 90s feels for me.

It feels a bit all over the place for me but it's got its moments.

I guess the melody/chorus could've been better, imo.

Yeah this is best part about it for sure. The piano sound in particular is a nice touch.

The madchester drums don't hurt either.

Yes! I hadn't even payed attention to that. The first 35 seconds are very Happy Mondays. And then the guitar is full-on Shoegaze (a little on the noisier side this time).

There also this recent cover of Taylor Swift's August:

Probably the Cocteau-est sounding thing she's done.

new song is decent but not her best, great guitar sound though

glad to hear her cover "august", it really needed someone to give it a dream-pop cover

really regretting deleting fb a while back now because without it i had no idea she was regularly (& safely!) playing local shows all through the pandemic, would have been nice to see

That piano is very Madchester, I love this. Also she seems a lot more at ease in this video than any of her previous ones.

Maybe we can get Wax to reunite for a Wax / Hatchie / Waxahatchee tour.

Has a slight feel of something St Etienne might've done at some point in the past 30 years

This is great

Yeah, not bad!

I played the August cover to my other half yesterday then today I heard the original in a charity shop for the first time.
