I felt the wooziness, the tropical tone and the general absconding from mainstream narrative. In other words Hibou (Peter Michel) are our sort of thing and their ‘Resolve To Burn’ could have been delivered on a warped-from-the-sun 6-inch vinyl single. Of course the success of the track was requiring of a singer to bring home the bacon and Hibou did – and then some for there is indie pop (off-kilter though it is) here in quantities that sees the infiltration of a singer to deliver the ethereals akin to Julee Cruise on that Twin Peaks theme of hers. Don’t think it could have been any more perfect if it had thrown a bit of shoegaze groove which it does on cue and to dramatic effect around the mid section. KH
