Label: Chrysalis Records
Release Date: 31st January
The Kaiser Chief Nick Hodgson has his own band now and he's taken all the solid songwriting with him. This is one of those albums where the sound is matched perfectly to the artwork, it's that spacey post Tame Impala dream pop sound with the motorik arena rock of the War On Drugs with some of the stomp and oom-pah-pah of Nick's earlier work.
Everyone Says Hi is the brand-new band created by frontman and ex-Kaiser Chiefs member, Nick Hodgson. The band also includes members Pete Denton (The Kooks), Ben Gordon (The Dead 60s), Glenn Moule (Howling Bells) and Tom Dawson. Their debut album with Chrysalis Records is a collection of dreamy-pop sounds inspired by the likes of REM, The Strokes, Daft Punk, Cigarettes After Sex and Mac Demarco. The sound of Everyone Says Hi is owed to what Nick calls ‘analogue hour’: “After dinner at my house, we listen to a record, no phones, TV, or remote control, just put it on and take it all in.” Nick remarks on the feelings of wanting to create an album that focuses on authenticity over production "I wanted to make an album that I’d listen to at night on the record player" "The band’s approach to the changing music landscape is pragmatic yet passionate".
