Release Notes:

The Hunches (Ben Spencer, Hart Gledhill Sarah Epstein and
Chris Gunnare) - are Portland's finest purveyors of
cacophonous garage that chews you up and spits you out with
such devastating hidden melody you are left wondering how they
crammed such pop into the noise cavalcades. Having released
two previous full-lengths ' 'Yes. No. Shut It' (2002, ITR) and
'Hobo Sunrise' (2004, ITR), the band are back with 'Exit
Dreams' their third album (and possibly final album!) that
captures The Hunches' fiery live form on wax once more

It's a veritable melee of vicious guitar savagery and lo-fi
freak-out fugginess. It's the perfect follow-up to 'Hobo
Sunrise' - a ragged-of-edge riot of a rock 'n roll album that
taps into the past to produce a blurry-eyed and stinging-eared
present of bloody mouths and shot-to-shit synapses sizzling
with amplified excess

Not that 'Exit Dreams' is non-stop fury, a one-dimensional
thrill. There's much more to The Hunches than simple
shock-and-more bombast. Across the course of twelve tracks
the outfit navigate styles known to explorers of
under-the-radar rock from the pages of history, each time
twisting the tried into forms best-fitting their singular
focus. Lose-yourself intensity is stripped back to the bare
bones of a perfect pop skeleton; crunched guitar chords shift
their weight to turn sweet from beginnings most acerbic
Throughout, vocalist Gledhill plays preacher, teacher, lover
fighter - outpourings from a soul scorched painting over the
lines of arrangements that rise to collapse upon themselves
that tumble only to return from the depths like a beastly
behemoth royally pissed

This is Iggy Pop hijacking The Icarus Line and juicing
adrenaline into their eyeballs; it's the give-a-fuck Velvets
getting loose and pissing off the neighbours while The Wipers
chuck stones at their windows; it's every great garage-rock
record you've never heard in a single 41-minute sitting. It's
the top-up for the tinnitus that only just wore off some four
years after the last time The Hunches rode through this town

The idea that it's better to burn out than fade away is a
stupid one. Much better to set fire to everything around you
and dance inside the encircling flames, facing your fate with
a wicked grin. The Hunches might be departing us, but the
four-piece are leaving with a bang sure to raze these walls to
the ground
