‘Hide’ is just perfect for a relaxing Sunday night in. Light, breezy, harmony drenched with jangly chords in abundance. It’s makers are called the Monday Photo and come from Miami. They’ve only been around for 2 years and you can download their whole back catalogue for free from their website (a mere 8 songs but the quality is universally high). They cite New Order as an influence and several of the songs feature ebulliently hooky bass lines. Leo Marcelo vocals are very easy on the ear and on ‘The Red Sneakers Song’ he frantically keeps pace with the dashing playing. The piece conjures memories of the sadly underachieving Pale Saints, the production is much tighter than anything on the lost ‘The Comfort Of Madness’ classic but still boasts a lo-fi edge. It’s pretty plain to see the Monday Photo’s efforts won’t go unnoticed for much longer. KD
