For one thing, Hatcham Social, named after a nearby Peckham Social Club, thicken Edwyn Collins' Scots-go-Velvet Underground outline with Josef K's and Hatful of Hollow Smiths' louder post-punk (even some 1980 Crocodiles-era Echo \u0026amp; the Bunnymen on the interestingly titled \"Mimicry\" and -- err -- \"Crocodile\"). Better, they write gripping, thumping songs that are irresistibly danceable without aiming obsessively at moving feet. Charlatans leader Tim Burgess' production does a tight, powerful job of catching the ensemble's wiry-heavy vitality, and aside from the pointlessness of quoting Lewis Carroll's 1871 poem Jabberwocky, leader Toby Kidd (his brother Finn on drums) is a terrific singer\/writer. Had they hit in the iridescent glow of the C-86 era, HS would have been at top of the pack; as it is, it's hard enough to stop playing You Dig the Tunnel, I'll Hide the Soil. ~ Jack Rabid, The Big Takeover","brand":"InnerSleeve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45949445701797,"sku":"880882165918","price":23.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/6007\/1077\/files\/eaacf5c79205c83a6bd41dbfdfff086c.jpg?v=1759578458","url":"https:\/\/www.innersleeve.com\/en-fr\/products\/you-dig-the-tunnel-ill-hide-the-soil","provider":"InnerSleeve","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
