Cold House by Hood

Heres...Phil's insightful review from way back when...

One of the best records you'll hear this year (more likely ever) is the new Hood LP (Cold House) on Domino which fortunately I'd had a copy for some time now(and now even long as this is a 10th anniversary reissue). I hate to use this word but it is a fusion. Yes a fusion I say. And that fusion consists of indie, hip hop, electronica, jazz and probably more. Doesn't really sound like any of them to confuse you. Well I guess it's more indie and electronic than anything else. It's fantastically done anyway and you would be a fool not to either buy this or check it out at a mates.

Man my reviews were rubbish back then... Anyway this is one of the best albums you'll ever own. A hugely important influential album blending genres seemlessly and creating something totally fresh and exciting. It still sounds absolutely brilliant today and you should fuck off my crap suggestion about going to a mates house and just buy the fucking thing.

 

Formed around the familial axis of Chris and Richard Adams in the hot-bed of industrial decline and tertiary-sector dementia that is Northern England , Hood have been absorbing and perplexing listeners since their faltering formation in the early 90s.
