"and I hated growing up..."
Bay Area based The Hot Takes have a big sound. On "Hallelujah Superstar" from their self titled EP there is a feeling of jubilation infused with the stuff of life, pain and longing. The vocal aesthetic and jangly rock downbeats sound at once indie garage rock and the musical nucleic acid straight out of the heartland. An amalgam of Springsteen and Japandroids. The track was mixed by Dan Konopka of acclaimed indie band OK Go and mastered by Grammy Award-winner Mark Christensen of Engine Room Audio in NYC and thankfully the production touches are nuanced letting The Hot Takes raw immediacy come fully through, charged up and brawling.
