"Amazing...like Elbow with bigger beards and better dreams" - NME

"One of the top five bands to see live in the UK" - The Independent

Currently named as one of the hottest bands to see live in the UK, Four Day Hombre continue to wow audiences. Entertainment Weekly say that Four Day Hombre are "smash-your-head-into-the-wall brilliant" with the UK's NME magazine saying of Four Day Hombre, "Amazing".

Partially inspired by the book Among the Bohemians: Experiments in Living 1900-1939 by Virginia Nicholson, the album is exactly this: an exercise in freedom outside the mainstream music industry, and the right to create something to prove that it deserves to exist. Nostalgia, sadness and a pure and innocent hope that things really can get better are themes that run through this album. Its sound is classic: eschewing the 'loud and the now'; its delicate and intimate melodies blend with enraptured moments of intensity.

Lead off single - The First Word Is The Hardest The First Word Is The Hardest captures the sound of Experiments in Living better than any other: a driving mix of fracturable atmospherics, stunning vocals, repetitive beats and a final euphoric release all smothered in Neil Young-esque feedback. The song is an outstretched hand to someone carrying a hundred tons of shit on their shoulders - someone who is repeatedly running at a windowpane unable to see the glass, when all they need is a friend to open it and let them through.
