Hotly-tipped South London six-piece The Hics will release their debut EP, Tangle, on August 19 (Nero Records UK). They play their first headline show at London’s Electrowerkz on August 1.
The Hics’ warm and subtle fusion of electronic, hip-hop and jazz production stems in part from their unusual upbringing. Wanting a male/female duet from the start, Sam Evans founded the band with fellow drummer Jacob Welsh, before recruiting his vocal counterpart Roxana Dayette. They have since grown into a six-strong, multi-instrumentalist collective, writing and largely producing everything themselves; and as equipped with keys and laptops as they are the saxophone or flute.
