Higgins Waterproof Black Magic Band – The Blast, The Bloom

Higgins Waterproof Black Magic Band - The Blast, The Bloom

Of course, the dark guitar pop of Higgins Waterproof Black Magic Band’s “The Blast, The Bloom” is right up our alley. Very muscular and rhythm-driven for a track that’s been arranged actually quite delicately (there’s an intricacy in the noise of this record that’s really rather stellar), “The Blast, The Bloom” fills well the current dearth of indie bands peddling engaging visceral guitar music. We love it. HWBMB is a project of a dude called Tunde Adebimpe from some band named TV On The Radio and their debut EP is out the 1st of October.
