More from HANN, courtesy of Two Minutes To The News, the second single of 2024 and a precursor to debut album, Forever In A Glance, due in the summer.
This is the video for We Were Seventeen, which came out in January.
I jumped on board the HANN wagon in late 2022 and I really enjoy the mix of hummable tunes, slice of life narratives and ace one-liners, delivered in a wonderfully deadpan style.

Hannah Fitzpatrick avoids the current vogue for sprechsang, yet it's still like being with your mate down the pub, catching up on their latest (mis)adventures in love and life.
Ooh Daddy's mad at me
Coz Daddy walked straight in
And caught me taking
Daddy's drugs
(Daddy's Drugs, 2021)
If you're new to HANN and have enjoyed the above, these and loads of other songs are available on Bandcamp and all are well worth checking out.
I've no idea what the mix of brand new and previously released songs will be on the album, though I'm guessing Two Minutes To The News and We Were Seventeen will be shoo ins.
What I do know is that Forever In A Glance will be going straight into the shopping basket the first Bandcamp Friday after release and promises to be one of 2024's most fun releases. And goodness knows we need that in our lives right now.
Ooh, ooh, that's also very exciting. Any band who release a song called My Mum Was Nico's Driver are going to get me downloading.
ReplyDeleteIt was C (Sun Dried Sparrows) who introduced me to that song and therefore HANN when I posted about Nico a while back, for which I continue to be very grateful.
DeleteI thought I'd left a comment on this, but it's disappeared. I was coming back to say that not only am I interested by their song My Mum Was Nico's Driver, but I've Got A Cold is also perfect. Further investigation definitely required.
ReplyDeleteNot sure why, Rol, but your comment on Les Disques Du Crépuscule passed without challenge but your responses to HANN were quarantined as potential spam! I've released them into the blogosphere, where they belong!
DeleteAnd yes, I'd heartily recommend further investigation. There are enough singles and standalone releases to comfortably fill a CD already, which bode well for the forthcoming album.
