If you were going to try to stuff the new album from New York trio Hide and Shine into a box, it could only be a bento. The different sonic compartments, ranging from sunny indie rock to fuzzy post-punk to more meditative, goth-tinged post-punk, with the themes of metamorphosis and humbled ego pulling the meal together, under the careful mixing of Faith No More producer Matt Wallace. “Can’t Wait to Catch Fire” is a sunny, existential track, ironically catchy in that particular 90’s, tongue-in-cheek sort of way, keeping in line with the group’s new-vintage sound.
“Can’t Wait to Catch Fire” is on The Red Core, out now.
