OUT NOW: Hyena “Outside, The Great Drought” LP & more…
HYENA “OUTSIDE, THE GREAT DROUGHT” LP
(Smeraldina-Rima 18, € 15.00)
NY-based multi-instrumentalist Colby Nathan delivers a debut that contains a jumpy and highly neurotic form of outsiderpop combining bebopdrenched rants and surrealistic torchsongs with lush arrangements that constantly test the limits of self-control and good reason. “Outside, The Great Drought” offers baroque exuberance and teenage angst through sixties inspired craftsmanship that keeps spiraling out of this worldly realm. Think Jonathan Richman, Brian Wilson and Van Dyke Parks.
Vinyl edition of 500, with two-colour screenprinted open sleeve.
