Introducing... Hair Traffic Control

I finally started receiving more music in my soundcloud dropbox (that widget on the right there) and one of the tracks that stood out lately was 'The Hobo Gauntlet' by Hair Traffic Control. An unwieldy name prehaps, but we might let them get away with it for being pretty good at what they do. Hair Traffic Control are Daniel Harvey (guitars\keys\singing), Christopher Neil (bass\singing) and Edward Wells (drums\singing).

This track is one of four songs from their third EP 'Let's Do Lunch', which is out now DIY style from their website. Somewhat postrock in their sound, don't let the possibility of some complex guitar arrangements put you off. Behind walls of intertwining sounds is buckets of energy and charm such as that found in the beat box intro to 'Boots and Cats' and the melodic shifts such as the lovely couple of minutues towards the end of 'These Are The Dogs In My Life Part 2'. Even at their most loud and frantic during 'Last Man In Irkutsk' it never sounds anything less than euphonious.
