The Hi-Life Companion
The Hi-Life Companion are one of those indie-pop collectives that seem to be very fashionable at the moment. When they sent me their CD they had seven members, but they are probably up to nine or ten by now. Some of them have other bands, some of them don’t, and some of them don’t even know they are in this band.
The band seem to defy genre with each song seemingly influenced by a different style, something which I imagine is inevitable with so many people behind a band. Each style works with varying degrees of success, but it’s You’re The Greatest that works best for me, a snappy (it runs less than two minutes) throwback to joyous 60’s pop complete with the required handclaps and male-female harmonies.

The first 30 seconds of “You’re The Greatest” were a bit too saccharine, but the chorus was refreshingly original. Thanks for turning me on to this band!
