Wed, 01/18/2017 - 14:09 by karyn

The Hibs are a young band in Vancouver’s ever growing music scene but you wouldn’t quite know that after a listen to their debut self-titled EP. The five-song effort throws back to a time of twangy rock anthems, the Westerburg inspired lead single “Get Old” to the J Mascis-esque vocal melodies and pathos that populate “Harder Than Heaven” and acoustic closer “LSA”.

Later, while shopping with your son at a Hot Topic in Ann Arbor, Michigan’s Briarwood Mall, the answer suddenly hits you.

There is no other info known as of yet about the forthcoming LP, but if this track is any indication it’s going to be a wonderful personal affair. The past few years have seen the band slowly breaking out of their damaged, tropical-tinged art pop and quietly embracing a more mature and weary R&B side.
