Mikey Collins (Allo Darlin’) launches his debut solo album Hoick at Paper Dress on Tuesday 14 August!
Of the album Mikey states: “This has been the first musical project that I feel proud of the moment I finished it. Normally it takes a bit of time and perspective. It feels as happy, conflicted and dense as the inside of my brain feels most of the time, which is the danger / joy of the solo record…” Collins deftly blends a solid rhythm section with disco beats and old school R&B grooves, layering the bass lines, guitars, synths and harmonies to build up each track sonically. The result is a shimmering and glittering record that bursts with joy and wonder.
Support comes from Simon Love, who’s just released his latest album on Tapete Records to huge critical acclaim.
