Maybe I should start a new playlist “bands from Liverpool who don’t sound like bands from Liverpool.” It promises to be a short list. Shorter perhaps than the inside leg measurements of one of Ken Dodd’s unfortunate Diddymen.
However, one of the best bands to quietly emerge from the city in recent years King Hannah (Hannah Merrick and Craig Whittle) sound like they could have been brought up roaming the American prairies, or perhaps emerged from the shadowy claustrophobic small-town noir vibe much beloved by David Lynch.
King Hannah’s recent singles have been stunning and their latest offering “Big Big Baby” is another smouldering moody track full of dark cinematic drama. It’s from the duo’s forthcoming debut album I’m Not Sorry, I Was Just Being Me, due out on February 25. The band will also be making their American debut this year as well as playing a few UK dates.
