Go listen!
On their debut EP, Huge Face serve up a mean slice of bouncy, perfect-chord indie pop, wielding Pavement dissonance, Los Campesinos joyousness, and the occasional brat-punk bop. Each song strikes a balance between propulsive chug and freefall soaring, all gut-punching bass and skyward guitars, with nothing but vocals in between, an F16 over rolling hills, Airbag gone pop. The fast songs are the finest, but even the anthems find ways to get off the ground, with Break the Hearts of Summer's gorgeous soaring vocal/guitar lines whipped into wobbly Martsh-ian helixes, while Jenny, Please marries Pinkerton longing to Rilo Kiley-clean guitars. Promising stuff, curious to see if they've got more than an EP's worth of material of this quality (I say, still haunted by the unfulfilled promise of the likes of Young Liars, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and A Lesson in Crime) 4.5/5
