Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Cold House marks something of an epiphany for Hood. In the past, Leeds avant-rock duo Hood have often been a resolutely joyless proposition, turning out a handful of albums of melancholy soundscaping that captured all the soaking sadness of the English countryside, but always came across as more of a chore than a pleasure. Moving now from abstract electronica to melancholy folk to graceful, synth-laden post-rock, these 10 tracks bring Hood's disparate elements into sharp focus: "They Removed All Trace That Anything Had Ever Happened Here" begins as a foray into utterly sad folktronica, glum acoustic guitars weaving behind dazed, anaesthetised loops, but as the track unravels, Why? from US avant-rap crew Clouddead adds voice to the slowly building cacophony. Meanwhile, "The Winter Hits Hard" takes the jump into a disorientating world of crackly, glitch-addled electronica, distant, emotionless vocals eventually subsumed into a snowstorm of digital effects. Cold House is far from a comforting listen, but it's by some length Hood's most assured statement yet: a masterwork of digital darkness, foreboding and fascinating in equal measure. --Louis Pattison
CD Description
Fifth album from Leeds post-rock outfit. Slow-building guitar workouts with strings, woodwind and electronic interludes, similar in style to Fridge and Mogwai. On this release they have been more influenced by underground US hip-hop acts such as Clouddead.
