Hamburger

About

Hamburger formed in Bristol after a fateful meeting in a fast food joint. Bristol six-piece ‘Hamburger’ are thrilled to announce the release of the second EP, ‘Beat Back The Ghouls’. The record, a follow-up to their 2020 critically acclaimed debut, ‘Teenage Terrified’, will be out 29th November 2024, and sees the band develop their sound and plough new furrows both sonically and thematically. ‘Beat Back The Ghouls’ sees the band take their sound in a more lush, subtle and layered direction, developing skillfully on the raw songwriting ability offered in their debut. On this record Hamburger create a more complex and sophisticated sound, flitting masterfully between driven guitar hooks, emotive lilting melodies, singalong angst-fuelled hits, and warm dreamy fuzz. ‘Beat Back The Ghouls’ is a record packed with songwriting craft. Each track is a finely-tuned pop song, with catchiness, beautiful melodic turns and delicate harmonic progressions at its heart. The soft, layered vocals add a wonderful contrast to the distorted, driven guitars, as they explore themes such as longing, want and alienation. If you’ve heard Hamburger before, ‘Beat Back the Ghouls’ will mark a new, more refined experience, a band finding itself fully-grown. If you haven’t heard them before, this record is an opportunity not to be missed.
