Vinyl LP pressing. There's a sense of wonder that permeates throughout every song indie rock band Hey, King! Has written. Canadian songwriter, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist Natalie London and her partner, Tucson, AZ vocalist and percussionist Taylor Plecity, approach music with a childlike curiosity and adventurous spirit-fitting for a band whose name comes from a Where the Wild Things Are line. Their 2020 debut EP Be Still was raved by Under the Radar Mag as Inchheartfelt indie rockInch with songs that showcased InchLondon and Plecity's ability to turn tragedy into an exuberant celebration of life and love.Inch But now, the band finally follows it all up with their highly-anticipated self-titled debut LP. Produced by 4x Grammy winner Ben Harper, Hey, King! #is a dazzling 11-track collection that matches the overwhelming emotional intensity of the band's live show, a concert experience that Vancouver Weekly called Incha powerhouseInch and Inchquite possibly the music world's best kept secret.Inch Album Tracks 1.

Chicago trio The Hecks have been at it since 2012, starting out as the duo of guitarist Andy Mosiman & Zach Hebert. The band drafted guitarist Dave Vettraino into the fold, a recording engineer who was recording the band's s/t debut (Trouble In Mind, 2016) & ended up joining the band In 2017. The band's journey to the end result of InchMy StarInch - their second album - has taken them three years. After recording an initial version of the album in 2017, The Hecks started gigging with new fourth member & keyboardist Jeff Graupner, whose synthesized squiggles added some welcome heft & swagger to the band's tunes. After reworking & rearranging much of the new material to accommodate Graupner, the band scrapped the recordings & rebuilt them from the ground up, incorporating Graupner's skills at the keys. The results speak for themselves, as InchMy StarInch is a gigantic leap forward for the band, absorbing everything from InchManscapeInch-era Wire to Paisley Park nu-funk to abstract new wave & art rock plucked straight from the Cold Storage playbook. Much of InchMy StarInchs ten tracks are designed to bewilder; the production is intentionally disorienting, with the mix tipped toward the treble, alternating from sparse to confoundingly dense at times, but never at a disservice to the songs themselves. Opener InchZipperInchs intertwining guitar jabs & synth lines herk & jerk so rapidly it's liable to break your neck, while lead track InchSo 4 RealInchs neon-laced dayglo soul ratchets up the mutant funk throb so tightly that the lilting, melodic guitar break at the chorus is a welcome dose of ear-candy. InchHeat WaveInch dials it back, reveling in romantic washes of synth and flange & it's yearning refrain of InchIt's tearing me apart, ripping out my heart againInch; a captivating, slow burning ballad unlike anything the band has done before.
