Hex Girlfriend share new tracks ‘Cafe Culture’ and ‘Itch’
Hex Girlfriend have today released their brand new tracks ‘Café Culture’ and ‘Itch’. These two tracks are the perfect re-introduction to this London-based duo.
On ‘Café Culture’ electronics and rock come together as propulsive, distorted beats and expansive production show off the band’s ambition and scale. It’s thrilling – loud and immediate. ‘Itch’ is driving and relentless, rushing by at breakneck speed.
On lead track Café Culture the duo say –
“Café Culture” is a loud, confrontational song, but the lyrics are about slowing down, taking time for yourself, and realising that just ‘grinding’ away at something isn’t necessarily going to get results if it’s wearing you down. It’s a song about rejecting ‘hustle culture’, something that we feel is particularly prevalent in today’s industry where making music independently is thankfully more accessible, but still comes at the cost of homogeneity and commodification due to the relentless pressure to ‘market yourself’.
Hex Girlfriend will be headlining The George Tavern in London 16th February to celebrate the release of the single. Tickets are available here
The duo have recently set up their new recording space in south London as they gear up for their biggest year yet. Last year was spent channelling their energy into recording and readying their live show. Now with ‘Café Culture’ and ‘Itch’ they are ready to emerge. These two tracks act as an early statement and they’ll be releasing music consistently throughout 2024 with more live shows running alongside.
