Loosehounds - Hard to be Human

Keith Whitham~Get Rhythm 2000
Instantly memorable songs and exquisite arrangements seem to combine effortlessly. Every track on Hard To Be Human is a well crafted slice of radio pop that'll have you humming the hook after one listen like an old melody rediscovered. The chameleon quality of the group means that at any point they can sound like Van Morrison, Crowded House, The Saw Doctors and many others rolled into one.

The only thing they've got wrong is waiting until now to release their first album- it was only the cost that held them up. 'Hard to be Human' reflects their softer more acoustic side but there are two sides to Loosehounds professionalism- they can clearly produce a highly listenable album but live they're even better.
