The music of The Hampdens is not only thought provokingand conceptually grounded, it is, most importantly, imminently listenable.While you may hear subtle traces of Air, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Zero 7, NorahJones, Nick Drake, The Beach Boys, Ryan Adams, and Lauryn Hill in theintricate mesh of sounds, The Hampdens have importantly forged their owncross roads between chill-out and pop. The demo’s recorded leading up tothis debut release have had a huge amount of critical acclaim, nationally andinternationally. This is only the beginning for The Hampdens.
