Hadda Be Return with New to the Office

It’s been a few years since Hadda Be dropped their glorious debut, Another Life; it was a record that got tons of press overseas, and so today their return is welcome news. I think the angular riffs are going to immediately label their sound as a post-punk brand, particularly with those sharp riffs and growling bass lines; the vocals do sit in a matter-of-fact fashion, not unlike Dry Cleaning or the like. For me, there are some other influences like the Raincoats, especially when the whole group comes in to deliver a soft vocal chorus. There’s a third little moment that’s angry, taking it out upon the routines of modernity in our world. A glorious return!
