Deep eklypsis

5 Paris–based post-rock-folksters morphing from Nick Drake into Mogwai at the blink of a banjo –and of 3 guitars, which helps.

Melancholic or spirited, and mostly both at once, HitchcockGoHome!’s music mirrors both the love of playing and the reflective souls of the 5 musicians, who let voices and instruments play changing roles to suit their fancy. A banjo, subtly expanding density or sudden strokes of the guitars, a bow passed on from hand to hand, rich bass lines, male and female voices that do not mind staying in the background sometimes, add to the uniqueness of HitchcockGoHome!’s style, strong, mellow and/or uplifting, a time-defying blend of folk, rock and post-rock that translates marvellously onstage.

HitchcockGoHome! like to squeeze or stretch simple songs into delicate & complex sonic architectures.
