Our Take

Haircut 100's debut album "Pelican West" is a delightful romp through the world of new wave pop, with just the right amount of quirk and charm to keep you coming back for more. From the infectious melodies to the cheeky lyrics, this album oozes with personality and fun.

Frontman Nick Heyward's vocals are like a warm hug on a chilly day, inviting you to sing along and dance to the catchy beats. The band's distinctive blend of horns, guitars, and synths creates a sound that is both nostalgic and fresh, transporting you back to the heyday of 80s pop music.

Tracks like "Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl)" and "Love Plus One" are instant classics, with their irresistible hooks and sing-along choruses. But it's the deeper cuts like "Lemon Firebrigade" and "Calling Captain Autumn" that show the band's true artistry and range.

Despite the glossy sheen of the production, there is an underlying sense of sincerity and vulnerability in Heyward's lyrics that adds depth to the bubblegum pop sound. It's like a fancy cocktail with a hidden kick of whiskey – fun and frothy on the surface, but with a surprising bite.

Overall, "Pelican West" is a must-listen for anyone who loves a good pop tune with a side of quirk. So put on your favourite shirts, pour yourself a Love Plus One, and dive into this gem of an album – you won't be disappointed.
