HITCHCOCK GO HOME!

Hitchcock Go Home! biography
HitchcockGoHome! is a Post-Rock band with Folk elements from Paris, France. Five Paris-based post-rock-folksters morphing from Nick Drake into Mogwai at the blink of a banjo - and of three guitars, which helps.

Melancholic or spirited, and mostly both at once, HitchcockGoHome!'s music mirrors both the love of playing and the reflective souls of the 5 musicians, who let voices and instruments play changing roles to suit their fancy. A banjo, subtly expanding density or sudden strokes of the guitars, a bow passed on from hand to hand, rich bass lines, male and female voices that do not mind staying in the background sometimes, add to the uniqueness of HitchcockGoHome!'s style, strong, mellow and / or uplifting, a time-defying blend of folk, rock and post-rock that translates marvelously onstage.

HitchcockGoHome! like to squeeze or stretch simple songs into delicate & complex sonic architectures. Their critically-acclaimed debut album "Yes You're Dead", was released in May 2005, by Drunk Dog Records, Paris. Followup came in 2008 (You Cannot Be Serious). The band's multifaceted compositions owe much to the eclectic range of inspirations and previous band experiences brought in by those 5 singular characters. Unique element in their music is their use of banjo, which makes new sounds in this combination with Post-Rock tunes.
