notes

The Hipsters have been around for more than 30 years, but Love and Violence, their 12-track album self-released this summer, is technically their debut. They’ve been playing off and on through different lineups without a studio record since 1978, and according to their website, are now “professionals with jobs and haircuts.” But that seems a little misleading. Love and Violence is wacky, smart, fun music and far from square.The weirdness on Love and Violence — and it is weird — isn’t pronounced in any instrumentation or production style. In fact, the sound is overwhelmingly clean and inoffensive, reminiscent of their “contemporaries” The Feelies. - Alex Gordon, Pittsburgh City Paper, October 12, 2016
