Sons - Hallo (CD)

Belpop.

With ‘Hallo’, the Belgian four-piece enter a new era, one in which their explosive garage rock gives way to songs that now also shine and sparkle. “Hallo” is the sound of youth unleashed. Of lives lived and experience knocking on your door. “Hello, we are SONS!”
SONS still relentlessly torment their instruments – just check out the furious title track – but what makes ‘Hallo’ different from the previous two albums (2019’s ‘Family Dinner’ and 2022’s ‘Sweet Boy’) is a certain joie de vivre that has crept in.
By looking deeper into themselves, they have discovered that not every message needs to be accompanied by a fist on the table. A tap on the shoulder and a telling glance can sometimes be more effective.
