The very much anticipated debutalbum from Stockholm's Hanna Hirsch. Following up several seveninches, Tala Svart takes the bands powerful pop sensibility to total perfection over 14 tracks. Self described as "awkward Buzzcocks", Hanna Hirsch continues to dig deep into the underground popular culture of the last 30 years or so, here creating a minor masterpiece of beautiful powerpop. All 14 tracks are A-side single material. Life elevating and absolutely necessary music. Mastered by John Golden (Sonic Youth, Superchunk etc). Dual Plover styled glossy gatefold-sleeve with black felt with artwork by Siri. 20 page booklet. Split release with Diskret Förlag.
Points of reference (mind you, more in feeling than actual sound): all early Rough Trade 7"s, France Gall, Modern Lovers, Greetings From Asbury Park-era Springsteen, Broder Daniels Forever, Germs, Tar... Feathers, The Starvations.
