Given that one of our favourite blogs comes from Mexico it is probably a bit remiss of us not to not feature more bands from that neck of the woods. Well, Hello Seahorse! are here to redress that particular anomaly. And what better way to introduce them than with this freight train of a song. If you’ve already claimed School of Seven Bells as your own well here is a dishy companion piece. It’s taken from the bands ‘Hoy A Las Ocho’ album of last year which has some lovely contrasting styles going on. I’d put this in the electronica arena yet Hello Seahorse! are equally adept at pulling some lovely indiepop faces. Good to see they haven’t sacrificed their native tongue and in ‘Universo 2’ the effect gives the piece an even greater ethereal quality. KD
