What you say No-one has reviewed Work Day by It Hugs Back yet. Give us your opinion on Work Day by It Hugs Back. What we say This record left our Brett feeling happy. I had to get up at 4.45am today and it was fucking rubbish. Took me right back to my postman days it did. So the last thing my sleep-deprived brain wants is bouncy, twee indie pop.. Luckily here are the upsettingly named It Hugs Back with their 'Work Day' 7" to provide exactly that. I'm a bit sad that this isn't completely dire because I had notions of saying they should hug a lava pit or Japanese katana factory and see if those fuckers hug them back. Bright, clean C86 guitars with shy, hushed vocals like the guy would burst out crying buying his organic vegetables if the checkout girl dared to talk to him - if he could see her through his long, wonky fringe that is. This is actually pretty good for what it is though, fans of the WeePOP! stuff should be into it although it's nowhere near as lo-fi, it's got posh production and everything! What the label says: ‘Work Day’ is the first track to be taken from It Hugs Back’s forthcoming debut album, as well as being their debut release on 4AD. Aptly, it encapsulates why It Hugs Back are one of Britain’s finest new bands. ‘Work Day’, in all its shimmering glory and melodic finery, is the sound of Summer, while flipside ‘Take A Part’ offers a sinister twist of distorted guitar and anguished vocals intersected with erratic noise explosions which justify comparisons to pioneering noise heroes Sonic Youth. “A slight nod to My Bloody Valentine and Sonic Youth… one of my favourite bands...” - Rob Da Bank  “Kent could soon produce its very own Bright Eyes” - NME

About the humble 7":

The humble 7" is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5") and it's the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They're fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7". You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don't forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.
