If first impressions count for a lot a band name should say it all and despite the awful name, there are fewer reservations where THE HAIR'S music is concerned. Like the Blockheads and Happy Mondays doing the macarena, The Hair take infectious carnival keyboards and itchy rhythms and mesh it together with Sam Robson’s Sean Ryder style vocals.
‘Brick supply’ kicks it off with Robsons yelping and fairground keyboards making it annoyingly likeable straight away, whereas ’Left Foot, Right Foot’ sounds not unlike The Music in a swaggering kind of way before it breaks down in a medley of cowbell and synthesizers. ‘Jigsaw Ballad’ wails along with a persistent piano pattern and Robson’s fluctuating vocals and ‘Bunny Boiler’ complete with Jaws sample leads on you on a merry tribal dance via Yorkshire.
"It’s in the way you move" they sing. And The Hair make me move just fine.
