art is hard records: PIZZAIH10 - Despairoroni
If you’re one of the only people I know who isn’t waking up this morning with a giant hangover somewhere in Brighton, we have a cracking pizza club for you. Hehfu is the moniker of Caerphilly (Wales) based Bradley Clarke and sounds like pretty much every Slumberland release, we wish we’d heard…

Hehfu - Two and a Half Years
Hehfu is a noise-pop project by Caephilly’s Bradley Clarke.
The prolific Clarke released his debut album on Bleeding Gold records back in November and has since release another (but short) EP in January via Bandcamp. Since then Hehfu have posted Two and a half years with a number of other tracks onto his Soundcloud page.
Two and a Half Years is a flantastic bit of noise-pop and we hope a follow up album in the same vein is on its way soon!

p|m|w’s Favorite Songs of the Week /// January 6th, 2012
Instead of limiting myself to the usual six songs for a weekly pick, I’ve decided to broaden it out a bit from here on out when the time calls for it. This week was actually pretty well stacked with great new tracks, but I’ve limited myself to eight that I feel are worth a second listen. I’m sure that I’ve missed some picks here and there, but so be it - this, the first week back into the new year, was dominating my ears with the help of these eight selections. Hopefully something in here excites your ears as much as they do mine.
As always, click on the title and artist to hear the songs and if something happens to tickle your fancy, please do what you can to support the artists. Happy listening and have a wonderful weekend!
PLAYLIST (in no particular order)

“I’m Happy To Be Here Tonight” by HEHFU // Come Home EP (2012)
Bradley Clarke’s HEHFU project is already back with more great new music following the release of this fall’s excellent full length, Music For My Broken Ears. This time around he’s dropped a free EP on Bandcamp, entitled Come Home, and he further explores and killer lo-fi, noise pop sounds of that previous release. The excellent “I’m Happy To Be Here Tonight” is a standout, with it’s fuzzed out guitar and driving beat that calls to mind early R.E.M. (as well as 100 Broken Windows era Idlewild - as I mentioned previously). HEHFU is mining a similar territory as recent releases by Yuck and Gross Magic that seem to realize that the golden age of indie rock still has plenty of gas left in the tank. I wholeheartedly agree.

“A Puppy is Not Just For Christmas” by HEHFU // Music for My Broken Ears (2011)
The new HEHFU full length has been getting some air time in my ears for the past couple of weeks, but with the craziness of this time of the year and the general busy-ness of life, I hadn’t been able to give it my proper focus. Thankfully, all of that has changed these past few days and I’m finding myself hit the repeat button more and more. There’s a playfulness that weaves it’s way in and out of the album that makes it infectious as other times you’re hit with decidedly darker, serious tones. It doesn’t make for a schizophrenic listen in the least. In fact, it calls to mind the great Idlewild album “100 Broken Windows” which straddled the angst line with great indie pop. Of course, there’s shades of other sounds at play as well. Take for instance the Joy Division-esque driving post-punk rhythm (and synth line) of “A Puppy is Not For Christmas”, which is a genuine killer of a track. A gigantic leap forward for the band who were already making great use of the lo-fi, indie pop sounds in their previous EPs. The lean into the darker sounds of new wave and post punk is just what HEHFU needed to give it that extra little push and hopefully people will take notice. They’ve made a wonderful record that deserves your attention, and for the time being you can score it from Bandcamp for Name-Your-Price. You won’t be disappointed.
