I quite like this 7" by The Hat. I was drawn to it by the inspired name. It's a great name for a band! Open Hearts has a quickly spoken word/ rapping verse swiftly followed by a catchy chorus which I couldn't think what it reminded me of but then it came to me... Gomez!! But when Gomez were good (ie around the 1st album time). Cock knows what the whole thing sounds like but I quite like it. I feel a bit ashamed to say that as well! Open Heart is 7" only

What their label says...

The Hat is a quartet of incredibly talented individuals, who are all multi-instrumentalists.  They mix storytelling with pop hooks, gospel style harmonies and cinematic live music.  Since Sunday Best’s first Bestival event in 2004, The Hat have curated and hosted the bandstand stage. Legendary eight-hour sets and outstanding musicianship have won them many supporters and a great reputation.Both The Bees & Mystery Jets have since asked The Hat to be their tour support act. In 2006, Rob Da Bank debuted The Hat track ‘3am (Drunken Lullaby)’ to great critical acclaim on his ‘Folk Off’ compilation. The track now features as the b-side to this single. This is their 1st and only studio recording available – as such it’s highly exclusive. A further 7” single will follow.
