Listening to hhhhhh will immediately transport you to a cool desert night. Sadly the desert has no wi-fi. My favorite hhhhhh (which is the sound a cactus makes) track so far has to be “there there son”. It starts with a sparse but sexy Latin guitar and shakers. Straight out of the Texan desert (we don’t have deserts) the layering and orchestration of hhhhhh is simple and clever.
Not only are Latin and Texan influences mixed together, but it also draws on a plethora of American aesthetics. Elvis Presley Viva Las Vegas background vocals can be heard in concurrence with a Queens of the Stone Age desert rock feel (perhaps not as aggressive sounding, but nonetheless present; (an Acculturation wet dream)). As the EP progresses we are allowed a glimpse into each of hhhhhh’s voices, none of which seem forced or random and much like the songs themselves, each aspect of this band is neatly sewn together.
