New Music from Hit the Jackpot
What? You haven’t heard of Hit the Jackpot? Well, we’ve got you covered. The group hail from Australia, and they’re lined up with the excellent people over at Chapter Music, home to ATH favorites The Crayon Fields. They’re about to release a cassette with CM, but it’s going to be super-limited, so us US folks might find it hard to get our hands on it, but that doesn’t mean we can’t head over the band’s site and give it a listen. The Holiday Tape is seven tracks, and all I’ve listened to sound pretty spectacular, in my humble opinion. The opener, “Holiday” sounds like something you would have expected Sonic Youth to do, or you expect them to do, when they allow Kim to take the microphone, and use her gruffly warm vocals to approximate a pop song. These are the kind of things that win our hearts over at ATH, so give it a chance to make your day.
