The Hare And Hoofe: getting heavy mellow.
PRESS/ JEFF PITCHER
Quirky south-coast quartet The Hare And Hoofe are heading in new musical directions with their second album, Compasse, which is released on May 2 via Kent Music Corporation. It sees the band following the ‘heavy mellow’ route, also used by fellow psych-prog artist Jane Weaver, as they navigate their way through the increasingly strange world of today where nothing is quite what it seems.
They cryptically allude to the album’s contents saying, “Compasse rediscovers the missing direction between Hare and Hoofe. It charts the spaces between digital and pastoral, concrete and sylvan, heavy and mellow, finding a new genre: heavy mellow. And that way lies enlightenment; a balm for our troubled age.”
