Anderson, Hamish
Electric
Get ready for a heavy dose of rock & roll, blues & soul with the release of Hamish Andersons album "ELECTRIC." Dialing up the volume, Anderson describes the album as a "Love Letter to the Electric Guitar." The result is a stellar high-energy album with a clear and unified vision that catches the energetic raw band vibe of 70s blues rock but updates it with modernised sounds and forward-thinking arrangements across 11 original songs. Sonic gems like "Youre Mine" and "Late In The Evening" show Anderson expressing his unique voice as a writer while also paying fuzzed-out homage to the understated blues rock licks of The Faces, T-Rex, and Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac. The buoyant and catchy "Stir Crazy" finds him grooving in the vein of early 80s ZZ Top, while the slow smouldering "Brighter Days" suggests a hip remodelling of a classic Curtis Mayfield, Al Green-styled ballad. "ELECTRIC" also finds Anderson sharing production duties with David Davis (The War On Drugs, Lauren Ruth Ward, Miguel). In all ways this new body of work pushes Andersons sound forward, mixing genres and influences to create something truly of his own. "ELECTRIC" is a testament to Anderson's unwavering dedication to his craft and his love affair with the electric guitar.
