REVIEW: It Hug's Back - Inside Your Guitar

6.5 out of 10

It Hug's Back make soft & fluffy Slowcore/Dream Pop with hints of uppity Indie Rock. "Inside Your Guitar" is their debut album and from the looks of it could point towards a promising future for these young lads.

With "Inside Your Guitar" you may be reminded of bands like The Clientele, Sparklehorse, Wilco, Steve Burns, etc. These "slow paced" Indie Pop jams are made up of bouncy bass lines, playful acoustics, steady paced drums, pleasing male vocal harmonies, and my favorite the "oozing with warmth" organ sounds (see track titled "Soon").

This album is perfect for a lazy day afternoon on your porch hangin' out with some friends, maybe sharing a six pack (or two). You should check into this album if you are in the mood for some relaxing Indie Pop tunes because "It", indeed, does "Hug Back".

Standout Tracks: Q, Work Day, Soon, Remember, Rehearsal
