Intae Woe by Heartbeat Hotel
Four N's //// Heartbeat Hotel have only been together for a couple of years, but they’ve proved impressively prolific in that time, independently releasing albums at a quick clip. Their latest short LP was self-recorded in a week in a cottage-cum-recording-studio in Mountain Lake, and it’s another tantalizing taste of dream pop.
Over the course of six tracks, the Toronto band retain their familiar split penchant for uptempo psych-pop songs and ambient drifters. NOW writers have criticized the group in the past for their lack of cohesion, but they’ve developed a knack for blending disparate musical modes into a distinct Heartbeat Hotel “sound.” - NOW Magazine

"[Heartbeat Hotel's] songs can make you bob your head with the beat one moment, at the next have you lost in an ocean of weird, built-up atmospheric noise..." - EXAMINER.COM
"With a sound reminiscent of über-hip bands like Animal Collective and Braids, the only thing standing between [Fetus Dreams] and the indie zeitgeist was a lack of ears." - NOW MAGAZINE
