Hailing from Grimsby is Hovercraft, and the band has recently revealed their new single, "New Pine Overcoat / Angel" - yep it's an AA-side release.
Lost demos and new magic. Hovercraft's new AA-side single is 90s nostalgia reimagined for today.
The release is mesmerisng, with the first track, "New Pine Overcoat", being a resurrected track from 1996, back then, it was in demo form, and it's been given a new lease of life. If you thought that the 90s sound on this was strong, then there's your reason, but it still has a very fresh tone to it, much like a moody Holly Humberstone track perhaps.
The flipside "Angel" is also one of those long-lost demos, and this cut offers more of the same. A charming intro welcomes you in before soothing vocals get draped over it. It's a bit more on the relaxing side of things and less shoegaze, but once more, we are astounded that this is a 30-year-old track. I just feel bad as if this came out in the 90s I honestly feel like the whole world would know about Hovercraft.
The whole release is nostalgic and refreshingly current, perfect for shoegaze and indie folk fans alike, so take your pick and get stuck in!
