Wooden instrument extremists Andrew McCubbin and the Hope Addicts’ third album, Blue is out now through 1am Records, distributed by Amphead. /p)
“Stunning records like this don’t come along everyday. It’s hard to describe music as sensuously beautiful as this; harder still to even believe it actually exists”" Inpress Magazine /p)
"McCubbin has the most beautiful voice on the indie scene" ABC /p)
"an evocative and romantic set of songs” Rolling Stone /p)
“…remarkable. Each piece is beautifully understated and realised with only judicious embellishment although lead track ‘Blue’ is the standout – a kind of antipodean crush of gravity and scale, taut and fraught, a breakdown in the desert, beyond belief.” Beat Magazine /p)
“…you’d be easily convinced he was actually some hidden treasure from London’s rich musical backdrop - such is the understated murmur of McCubbin’s voice and eloquent orchestration of instruments.” 4.5/5 stars Time Out Magazine /p)
“The songs on Blue are timeless gems” MX Magazine /p)
“Cherished overseas, now is the time for Andrew McCubbin and The Hope Addicts to make Australian's hearts tremble.” City Search /p)
“There’s a lot of comfort to be found in his gentle melodies” 3.5 /5 The Age - EG /p)
“an odd and charming piece of work. McCubbin operates on a disarmingly direct basis…third albums can be the point where the tiredness starts to show, but that’s definitely not the case here” Mess and Noise /p)
“McCubbin channels the pitch-black romanticism and solemn vocal style of both Leonard Cohen and the late, often great Triffid, David McComb”. Sydney Morning Herald /p)
As a writer McCubbin ranges with effortless grace through Nick Drake like folk sounds with almost pop European aesthetics full of dramatic tidal rushes of emotive instrumentation. /p)
His muse is an elusive silvery creature who guides you to the rocks. /p)
They’ve toured extensively throughout Australia and New Zealand as well as the UK and Europe where the Hope Addicts have made deep inroads into the European music scene; gaining admiration from bands, radio programmers, critics and music fans with every visit. /p)
The band will be heading back to the UK, Europe and Canada in 2008. /p)
