A name like Trim the Barber could insinuate a harmonious group of nu-folk chaps, dressed like the 50s-styled offspring of Mumford & Sons; or it could mean we’re dealing with a pack of rabid Jack the Ripper enthusiasts. Actually what springs forth from the London four-piece’s debut EP is far fresher than your average Communion signee, and there’s not a blood stained, greasy flat cap in sight (thank Goodness).
Or so their first release, available to stream below, would have us believe. Punching a medley of Madchester vocals and shoegaze into the band’s penchant for breaking structural convention, there’s also a smidge of industrial seeping through the cracks of Trim the Barber’s outlay. Influenced by bands as diverse as The Cure, Wire and A Place to Bury Strangers, the songs “feature conscious lyrical themes of despondency and frustration with an existence in post-Millennial Britain”. Ooo err…
If musical integrity alone isn’t enough for you, Trim the Barber have already caught the eye of radio stations galore, accruing time on Amazing Radio, XFM exposure, Future Radio and BBC 6music. Their EP will be released on April 9ththrough The White Label.
