ARTIST OF THE WEEK: No.436 - Hourglvss

After spending the last few years building and developing a wonderfully explorative direction, Welsh outfit Hourglvss are continuing their adventurous ideals with the wonderfully sprawling new single 'Calling'.

Channelling the same rich and vibrant aesthetic as acts like Haim and Cocteau Twins, 'Calling' makes for a beautifully warm and endearing listen. Championing more of that invigorating indie-pop direction they have been pursuing in recent years, they are cementing themselves as one of the more enchanting names on the rise right now.

Speaking about 'Calling', the band's Katie Benbow said, “Before HOURGLVSS, I never had a group of solid girlfriends. This is a love letter to all the girls in the band and to all girls and their friends. I had never found a community where I felt I fit in and where you all care about each other, where you can tell something is up with someone and want to check in.”
