Hella Comet are an Austrian band with influences that stretch from the obvious (shoegaze/90s alt rock) to the unexpected (mid-90s britpop). The shoegaze element is there from the off, it’s all soaring guitars and Cocteau Twins-esque vocals floating in and out at points. However, Hella Comet’s oeuvre is a lot more spiky than that suggests. They have some quite metallic elements in there, think Sonic Youth’s Silver Rocket and you have an idea of how wild they can be… This is an excellent album, fans of Sonic Youth, Explosions In The Sky, Monarch! and even alt rockers will be all over this. It’s that good. (NINEHERTZ.CO.UK)
