Hakim Asimov - Hold Onto Yer Hairs

New Spiritif Records artist. An obscure young man of mystery. Offering no reference to his age, location or even if Hakim is his true name. Letting only the beautifully heart-wrenching grandeur of his bitterswet pieces to speak for themselves....

Hold Onto Yer Hairs is a collection of intricately constructed guitar loops run through pedals, samples and a myriad of effects to create orchestra-like pieces that move in monumental waves of joy, melancholy and pure voidness. The songs are achingly gorgeous even at their most aggressive. Side A carries the harder sounds, Stellar Bomb starts off lush but lifts into enraged walls of distortion...while Side B offers the lighter more sombre pieces like the instrumental anthem The Trail of the Lonely and the slow-burning meditation of Comedy. And not to be mistaken, this is an album, not an EP and running at under 20 mins, its short and sweet and never overstays it's welcome, not that you want it to end....

You'll be seeing more release from Hakim in the future....
