Hear “What Once Was”

“One thing’s for sure – this is one of the best debuts we’ve heard for quite some time” – DIY 
“Dreamy, hazy and yearning for escape with every jangle or croon, Her’s are the summery angst everyone” –The Line of Best Fit

“Hazy melodies mirroring a yearning for an escape” – Louder Than War 

“Her’s strike an immediate blow with the brilliantly sludgy take on tropical pop” –Gold Flake Paint

As outsiders from sleepy coastal towns on different coastlines, Stephen Fitzpatrick from Barrow in Furness and Norwegian Audun Laading met for the first time in Liverpool as students. The pair bonded over a love of peculiar, sardonic humour and wide eyed observations. Dream-pop outfit Her’s is the natural extension to the solitary decoding of the cultures they grew up in. “Dorothy”, the pairs first offering, debuted on DIY earlier this month to a huge uptake drawing comparisons to Ariel Pink, Wild Nothing, DIIV and Beach Fossils. “What Once Was” follows up today as The Line of Best Fit’s song of the day.

Stream “Dorothy”

Stephen’s booming baritone and despondent manner is particularly distinctive, giving the band a striking aesthetic allied with Audun’s choppy bass lines and a relentless drum machine. An ever present jangling guitar pours over in sharp contrast resulting in a sound which feels deeply personal. Her’s are the closest of idiosyncratic partnerships formed from unlikely of circumstances.

Fittingly, the band have only played a handful of local shows but this first public offering will insure they step out of the shadows and present their unconventionality to the world.

“Dorothy” and b-side “What Once Was” are available on all streaming platforms from tomorrow (29th of April) and will be released on 50 limited edition hand-painted 7” vinyl, released on 6th May.

Live dates:

1st May – Sounds From The Other City, Salford

12th May – The Baltic Social, Liverpool

20th May, The Eagle Inn, Salford
