This EP could be Shmat Records' best release yet! Hrududu
Factory is an absolutely amazing indie pop band. With
nothing more than your average array of instruments - guitar, drums,
vocals, etcetera - HF craft beautiful, endearing pop tunes
that should be enjoyed by anyone with a fondness for sweet melodies
and pretty, almost Sparklehorse-esque atmospherics. We start off with the heartwarming, Elf Power-tinged
"Tractor Guy," which is an exciting and loose romp boasting some
really nice, hushed vocals and a fun, intensely listenable song
structure. "Garfield and Valley," meanwhile, is irresistibly
potent, twee-influenced pop with a cutesy, It's A Wonderful Life-style
chorus. Another highlight is the short hidden track, which is a
simple, happy pop tune focused solely on the disc's main theme - rabbits.
All in all, this is a terrific pop EP that anyone should
enjoy. However, if you're interested, you'll need to act
fast. Songs from the Burrow is limited to 500 copies and you don't
want to miss out, even if it's just for the cool cover and the little
rabbit cut-out toy.
