About Me |
|
| Desert Hearts released their highly acclaimed debut album 'Lets Get Worse' on Rough Trade in 2002. Two singles (and more glowing 4/5 reviews) followed - 'Ocean' on Belfast's No Dancing label and 'Gravitas/Hammer & Frogs' on Glasgow's Gargleblast Records. In 2006 the band returned to Chem19 studios in Glasgow with producer Andy Miller (who produced the first record, and who is also known for his work with bands such as Mogwai, Arab Strap and the Delgados) to record their second album 'Hotsy Totsy Nagasaki'. The album was released in October to rave reviews and is available now in all good record shops and on-line at www.resonancestore.com/gargleblast.Here's what the press have had to say:UNCUT 4/5 'The most exciting thing to come out of Belfast since Stiff Little Fingers'- Q 'A pleasingly sombre treat'-NME 'If you're looking for a band with a pulse Desert Hearts won't let you down. Exciting, angry, dynamic noise with gently caustic lyrics and some Pixies-esque rancour. Damn impressive'-MUSICWEEK 'One of the tastiest cakes to land on MW's plate for some time' (Hotsy)-ROCK SOUND 8/10 'One of the finest acts to come out of Belfast in a long long while. Investigate now!'-ALTERNATIVE ULSTER 5/5 'Hotsy Totsy Nagasaki is a devastating triumph of a record'-HOTPRESS 8/10 'Hotsy Totsy is a little beauty. Take it to your bosom, squeeze it tight. But not too tight - it's got claws'-THE IRISH NEWS 'Desert Hearts have managed to reclaim Ireland in the name of exciting, potential filled music'-GARY LIGHTBODY, SNOW PATROL 'Desert Hearts are a great Belfast band. They have the darkness of Joy Division and the low-slung humour of Pavement'-DROWNEDINSOUND.COM 'Recommended? You bet your arse it is!' (Hotsy)-Hotsy is on heavy rotation at Radio 1 and tracks have been played by the likes of Steve Lamacq, Huw Stephens, Phil Jupitus, Rory McConnell and even Gary Lightbody on his recent stand-in slot for Zane Lowe.The band have recently opened for acts such as The White Stripes, Bloc Party, The Breeders, The Hives, Snow Patrol (including their now legendary sold out London Koko show) and Arab Strap to name but a few...... ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------- | |
