Description/Reviews:
Hejira are an art rock four-piece with hyphenated surnames whose Facebook describes them as 'arising out of London' - if that doesn’t trigger your pretentiousness alarm then their debut album might be for you. It was clearly Amy Winehouse's cup of tea - the group once performed with her, and her name might encourage the more wary listener to stick with their brand of grandiose post-rock, cryptic lyrics, well-hidden hooks and a smidgeon of sixth-form wankery. Veteran electronic producer Matthew Herbert has stirred these ingredients into something potent, with preview tracks from Prayer Before Birth making the blogosphere giddy. Are they really the second coming and saviours of exploratory guitar music?
