Great British Hopes: Dutch Husband
Great British Hopes collects the very best in unsigned acts from the UK.
If you’re anything like me, you pine for more bands that sounds like they just stumbled in from the 90s US alternative scene. Granted, this may be a somewhat strange nostalgia trip for someone who didn’t really get into such things until this decade, but what should that matter?
Dutch Husband are a Bournemouth band who seem to have arrived by way of California circa 1994. The deliberately scrappy guitar work and disinterested sounding vocals are so good that you even feel inclined to forgive the slightly lazy chorus. Then again, with a band like this, lazy is half of the charm.
Nice find. Very Pavement-powered.
