Hauspoints release new EP

Hauspoints, a five-piece band hailing from Chorley in the UK, are back with their new EP titled Bloody Interference. The band’s sound is a mix of guitars, synths, saxophones, organic and electronic percussion, and capped by their compelling vocal work. Taking influence from a range of different styles from various eras such as West German Krautrock bands of the late 60s, British new post-punk of the late 70s, American psychedelic rock bands of the mid-60s and UK alternative rock bands of the early 90s, they craft their own style of energising rock music.

Bloody Interference is a wild and raucous EP that delivers the very best of their original garage rock sound tinged with psychedelic inflections. The EP kicks off with the track “Dead Frog Road” inspired by the time when the car park outside their studio was engulfed by small frogs and captures the haunting experience of being surrounded by small creatures as if it was something from a science fiction movie.

The EP’s second track, “New Builds”, features Nik’s otherworldly synth sounds, which contribute to the song’s haunting and mysterious feel. The track is a slow burner, and as it progresses, it builds and becomes more intense, adding to the song’s tension and appeal. The guitar work on this track is also impressive, providing a perfect counterpoint to the synth tones.

“Crisis Actor” is the penultimate track on the EP, is the most psychedelic of the bunch, driven by its hypnotic bassline and driving, gritty guitars. The vocals, delivered by Sam, are swaggering and rhythmic, adding to the song’s powerful feel.

The final track on the EP, “Midweek Non-event”, is a brilliant display of the band’s musicianship. The song’s outro is a glorious collision of instrumentation, which creates an atmospheric wall of sound that transports you to another place. The track is a fitting end to the EP, providing a satisfying conclusion to a rollercoaster ride of an record.

One of the most impressive things about Bloody Interference is how the band managed to capture the energy of their live shows in a studio recording. The EP was recorded at their DIY studio ‘Big Mon’, and the band did everything themselves, with all members involved. The result is a collection of songs that sound raw and perfectly unpolished, capturing the spirit of the band playing live in the moment.

Bloody Interference is an EP that truly showcases the band’s’ talent and musicianship, as well as their ability to combine garage rock and psychedelic elements. Hauspoints is a band that is unafraid to experiment, and their willingness to push boundaries and try new things is what makes them one of the most exciting bands on the UK music scene today.
