Never heard of these guys but after listening to the new album Limelight cordial they have me sold.

You can listen to the album at Soul seduction.

My favorite tune so far goes to the farce of dusty knee.

Blurb..
The mighty and mysterious Hassle Hound conjure up a sophisticated mess of complimentary contradictions, voraciously sampling everything in their paths. The band was formed around four years ago with core members: Tony Swain (guitar, loops, samples) Mark Vernon (loops, samples, electronics and balloons) and Lizzy Swimmers (Violin & Vocals) occasionally aided and abetted by David Fulford (keyboards & electronics). Over their short but prolific career they have built an impressive and eclectic body of material inviting comparisons to artists as diverse as The Books, The Durutti Column, This Heat and soundtracks to films such as the Wickerman, Midnight Cowboy and the work of Ennio Morricone.

They create a music of accomplished innocence, lush and melodic but with a haunting undercurrent of melancholy and menace. Samples and loops from a range of unlikely sources are merged with live instrumentation to create wonky off-kilter avant-pop with bite. The group have played extensively in the U.K. and France, alongside the likes of Melt Banana, Vibracathedral Orchestra, Knifehandchop, Scatter & Volcano the Bear. With a clutch of tracks included on compilations, a split 7" on Twisted Nerve’s singles club and a split 12" on French label Textile, with Oren Ambarchi’s Sun, their music is gradually reaching appreciative new ears. Their debut mini album, ‘Scaring the Grass in the Garden’ (released on ‘Pickled Egg’) is described as being like Brian Wilson and Brian Eno joining forces for a cover version of the Camberwick Green theme tune.
