Hauspoints, the UK outfit steadily garnering attention for their innovative blend of post-punk, indie-rock, and psychedelica, have finally dropped their debut album, 'Eel Feeling'. This record arrives after a string of releases that saw the band build a reputation for their vibrant and progressive sound, and it doesn't disappoint.
Frontman Palmo's inspiration for the album stemmed from his faulty car radio, which would randomly switch frequencies, creating a disjointed listening experience. 'Eel Feeling' mirrors this with its sporadic bursts of noise and ever-shifting soundscapes, a testament to Hauspoints' commitment to pushing boundaries and embracing the unexpected.
Lyrically, the album tackles the absurdity of modern human existence through a "Northern lens of bemusement," offering a wry and humorous perspective on the world around us. It's a personal and introspective journey, one that doesn't necessarily seek to be understood by others but rather serves as a form of self-entertainment for Palmo and the band.
Musically, 'Eel Feeling' is a rollercoaster ride of electrifying textures and swaggering guitar-driven anthems. It builds upon the band's established sound while also venturing into new and uncharted territories. The result is a wildly adventurous and thoroughly enjoyable listen, one that showcases Hauspoints' willingness to take risks and experiment with their music.
While still in the early stages of their career, Hauspoints are already making waves with their unique and distinctive approach. 'Eel Feeling' is a testament to their talent and ambition, a debut album that not only solidifies their place in the music scene but also leaves us eagerly anticipating what they'll come up with next.
In a world saturated with cookie-cutter bands and predictable sounds, Hauspoints stand out as a breath of fresh air. Their music is both challenging and rewarding, a testament to the power of creativity and the importance of staying true to oneself. 'Eel Feeling' is a must-listen for anyone seeking something a little different, a little off-kilter, and a whole lot of fun.
