Upcoming Beat Magazine review of HEE HAW
Hee Haw “ How To Pay Your Debt`s When You`re A Genius” (Highbeammusic)
By Dieter Kraus
This is a debut release for a band that has already supported the likes of The Zoobombs, Sixfthick, Fez Perez and Nunchukka Superfly.
The Ep contains five tracks, the first of which is “Famous Last Words”. A driving, dark bass line sets the mood. Sparse arrangement of guitar is used to good effect when amped to tune in with chorus. Vocal work is of a deep manic scope that is mixed with subliminal whispers to complement dark overal tone. Force of pounding bass keeps tempo on strong. “Something Red” begins on an errie path at slow speed. Atmophere is thick and comes on in a jarring manner when introduced. The band seems to build from simple scope to something unsuspecting, the listener forced in trance. Heaviness comes from the tone which creates a shadow world.
Swirl of guitar creates light in parts while deep bass tones drive the barren road in “3 Year Man/7 Year Plan”. Guitar roar is also a highlight within this track, punching out the riff changes. “Dear Earthling” is also high on errie, with vocals of an operatic nature. They are also delivered well and without strain. Traces of a polka beat permiate this ditty also that put it in an original sounding field. “Mosquito Net” clocks in at over eight minutes in length, demonstrating this bands want to create an atmosphere and take the listener on a journey. Lush, rich sounds are well distrubuted with the use of the basic tools. The use of silence as direction change works well as the manic dark energy stops and starts within this track. Subtle background voices have the listener chewing at the fingernails while the moon is high and candles lit.
Rich in textures and atmosphere Hee Haw bang out the riff with wails upon a swirling carpet whilst swinging from a very high and elaborate ceiling.
