Ha the Unclear - Single Review: Wallace Line
My music taste over the past year has changed a wee bit, and
I am loving music that harks back to the 80's, and Ha the Unclear do just that.
Their eccentric sound is filled with unconventional retro alt-pop
music making them the perfect backing track to the New Zealand summer, pity we
have just come into Autumn!
These guys are the kind of band I can see playing at summer
festivals all season long. The perfect band to accompany a day spent with fresh
green grass under one's feet, the sun shining and a drink of choice in hand.
Now I can totally understand that these guys sound may not
be for everyone, but if you are into ambitious musicians creating music of
texture and uncontainable and infectious tunes, then I suggest giving them a
listen.
Their track Wallace Line is filled with vitality and enthusiasm. I really can’t fault it to be honest and I have to say this has to be my most favourite single I have reviewed on muzic.net. I am gutted I won’t have the opportunity to see them live on their current tour, as I can tell they will be just as good, potentially more so when listened to live! I am now off to listen to more of their ridiculously catchy tunes, see you on the other side!
