london town-based alternative quartet hatcham social come back into the fray with a new album, a revamped line-up and a zestily rewired leftfield pop attitude. 'about girls' follows up the band's critically acclaimed debut 'you dig the tunnel, i'll hide the soil', which received excellent reviews in the uk (including 10/10 in vice,8/10 in nme and album of the month in artrocker) and gained them support tours with the maccabees, the charlatans, good shoes and razorlight. despite no official 'releases' in 2010 they made artrocker's top ten singles of the year with 'ny girls', which made a fleeting appearance on fierce panda's hypnotically limited 'gruff trade' compilation ep, while in 2011 they kept the home fires burning with the free download release of 'like an animal' and the young and lost digital club single 'shut your mouth' whilst selling out the lexington before christmas. the new album 'about girls' was recorded in their very own studio in wales, with the help of producer jim anderson.the songs are punchier, perkier, with a 'guitar heavy' sound that sees them move away from the synth-dappled sheen of 2009's 'you dig the tunnel.....'. hatcham social themselves consider 'about girls' to be "less layered, with more concise, playful and honest lyrics. catch hatcham off guard and they might even say this is their 'party' record.
