Formed back in 2011, London post-punk four piece, H. Grimace have taken their time to get to the release of their debut album, but this week they have confirmed details of “Self Architect” which will be out later this year on Opposite Number, as well as sharing the first taste of the record in the shape of new single, Land/Body.
It may have been six years in the waiting but listening to Land/Body it doesn’t feel like time wasted. This is a slick and brooding slice of uneasy post-punk; from a fuzzy and unnerving intro, the track resolves into an anxious rhythm pitched somewhere between The Cure and Savages. It’s clearly not just the music but the words that have been put together with great care, discussing the track the band suggest, “Land/Body is a song which took inspiration from the idea that we are living through the end of nature and what changes have occurred from the likes of mass production and standardisation. It delves into the possibilities that this has affected our sense of belonging and roots”.
This fascinating track marks H. Grimace out as an intriguing prospects, and one well worth pursuing further.
The second single from H.Grimace debut album Self Architect out April 7th on Opposite Number.
