Hygiene - (2010) Things That Dreams Are Made Of 7''

England's premier and genuinely Messthetics-y punks pull an incredible cover out of their ass for their third offering, completing the trifecta of releases on Great 2000s British Labels. "Things That Dreams are Made Of" is a cover tune from The Human League's album 'Dare', and the results are uniquely stomping and alluring, with a great obtrusive bass tone and the wonderfully distracted guitars fully supporting the simultaneously vapid and engrossing lyrics. The reverse explores the same waters as the second 7", murky and thoughtful and messy and lovely, further cultivating this odd, moody dream of a niche they have jigsawed out for themselves. An excellent effort, though their finest hour to me must still be "...and Where's My Jetpack?!". Paco has made just 398 hand-stamped copies, please obtain by any means necessary. England belongs to thee.
